AZ-104 Practice Exam — Microsoft Azure Administrator

AZ-104 tests whether you can run an Azure environment day to day: which role at which scope gives just enough access, how storage accounts, redundancy and SAS tokens behave, how to deploy and resize virtual machines, scale sets, containers and App Service, how peering, NSGs, DNS and load balancers route traffic, and how Azure Monitor and Azure Backup keep it all observable and recoverable. Practise across all five official skill areas with full 50-question papers and a score breakdown per skill area.

A sample AZ-104 question

One question written for this page, in the same style as the questions in the bank.

Implement and manage virtual networking

VNet1 is peered with VNet2, and VNet2 is peered with VNet3. There is no peering between VNet1 and VNet3, and none of the networks contains a network virtual appliance or a gateway. Can a virtual machine in VNet1 connect to a virtual machine in VNet3?

  • AYes, because the traffic passes through VNet2 automatically.
  • BNo, because virtual network peering is not transitive.Correct answer
  • CYes, as long as all three virtual networks are in the same region.
  • DYes, as long as the three address spaces do not overlap.

About the AZ-104 exam

How many questions are on the AZ-104 exam and how long is it?

Microsoft does not publish a fixed question count, but most of its certification exams contain 40 to 60 questions, and AZ-104 gives you 100 minutes to answer them. ReadyForCert papers use 50 questions on the same 100-minute clock.

What score do I need to pass AZ-104?

700 on a scale of 1 to 1,000. The score is scaled rather than a raw percentage of questions answered correctly, so it does not map exactly onto “70% of questions right”.

Do I need hands-on Azure experience for AZ-104?

It helps a lot. AZ-104 is written for administrators who already work with the Azure portal, PowerShell, the Azure CLI and ARM templates or Bicep, and many questions show a portal screen, a command or a template and ask what it does.

Are these the real AZ-104 exam questions?

No. These are practice questions written against the current Microsoft study guide. Real exam content is covered by Microsoft's exam agreement, and the bank is refreshed regularly.
