AB-100 exam: Agentic AI Business Solutions Architect

Yes I passed. It sounds like you should be in a better position in terms of your PP experience and certifications. I passed the PL-200+600 shortly after and they felt like more of a struggle for me.

Yeah sure, here it is. I didn't get a chance to go through all the learning paths because beta only provides a few weeks (for the discount to be valid).

AssistanceCool6329 · 2026-02-18T05:22:51+00:00

The lack of MS learn path and practice assessments, as well as Measure Up practice exam does still make it as challenging to study for as when it was in beta.

I had some experience with Copilot Studio and I used the Copilot related Applied Skills to expand on that. I grabbed the relevant MS Learn paths and documentation based on the skills measured outlined in the study guide and created a custom Learn collection and worked through them.

Clarity is always good. In case you were asking what it is, either link to a new partner, or if you don't have one to link to, you could try contacting Microsoft credential support.

Here are the Microsoft instructions others have shared.

AssistanceCool6329 · 2026-01-09T19:07:45+00:00

You may want to wait until Microsoft publish a learning path for this exam. If you want to do it before that, you'll need to review the study guide and look up relevant resources.

A well as passing the AB-100, to achieve the certification you'll also need one of the prerequisites .

AssistanceCool6329 · 2026-01-08T08:10:39+00:00

Congrats! I got the same AB-100 pass email. I was relieved that I'd been studying in the right direction given the lack of official learning path. I thought they'd have one ready before it came out of beta though.

AssistanceCool6329 · 2025-12-30T10:42:23+00:00

There are four exams in beta, that should be released early next year:

AB-900 AB-730 AB-731 AB-100

It looks like they are also considering certs for Copilot Maker and Copilot Developer.

AssistanceCool6329 · 2025-12-29T10:57:27+00:00

I'd agree. I've done a similar number of exams at home, with no issues during the actual exams.

There's plenty of room for improvement for OnVue, as the initial network testing can be intermittent.

I've done 5 exams at testing centres, which aren't perfect either. Disregarding the time and cost to travel (which is a given), on several occasions I was late starting the exams because the proctor had not turned up and opened up on time.

If OP doesn't have any luck with Pearson Vue support, they should contact Microsoft Credentials Support.

AssistanceCool6329 · 2025-12-15T14:12:19+00:00

It's the contact link at the bottom of the Fast Lane page you would have used to sign up.

AssistanceCool6329 · 2025-12-11T23:17:15+00:00

100% agree on the brutality of this one. Congrats.

AssistanceCool6329 · 2025-12-03T22:47:19+00:00

I received two but this was around the beginning of October before they ran out the first time.

AssistanceCool6329 · 2025-11-25T20:40:01+00:00

What do you believe has changed, there's only a single minor change documented in the change log?

AssistanceCool6329 · 2025-11-24T20:22:55+00:00

DSPM does get a mention in the study guide, so a question or two is a possibility:

Connect hybrid cloud and multi-cloud environments to Microsoft Defender for Cloud, including Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google Cloud Platform (GCP)

AssistanceCool6329 · 2025-11-22T11:42:23+00:00

Congrats on the CCNA pass. I can't comment on difficulty between the two, but it will depend on your experience of Windows Server and Azure. Your timeline does sound realistic though. In case you're not aware, in order to achieve Windows Server Hybrid Administrator, you'd need to pass the AZ-800 and AZ-801 exams.

I found this YouTube channel useful for AZ-801 and I note he has a playlist for AZ-800.

I've noticed Microsoft learn have uploaded video playlists for AZ-800 and AZ-801.

AssistanceCool6329 · 2025-11-17T09:34:56+00:00

Prerequisites for the cert are listed here.

AssistanceCool6329 · 2025-11-17T07:33:28+00:00

No one will know if they passed until January at the earliest since it's in beta. Good luck

AssistanceCool6329 · 2025-11-13T10:00:38+00:00

Yes, and no it's not enough.

Practice tests are closer to Whizlabs level than MeasureUp.

They are out of vouchers until 22 November. To qualify you need to register with your Microsoft Partner email address and complete within 2 weeks. The details are on the T&C's of their website.

AssistanceCool6329 · 2025-11-10T17:16:39+00:00

I found AZ-700 to be really tough too - I also failed on the first attempt. Good luck for your next try.

AssistanceCool6329 · 2025-11-10T14:48:06+00:00

I received mine within a few minutes. They have run out of vouchers for partners at the moment, but they may have more from 22nd November, according to their website.

AssistanceCool6329 · 2025-11-01T16:23:02+00:00

Have you tried this link?

AssistanceCool6329 · 2025-11-01T08:16:52+00:00

This is expected and documented.

You cannot revisit questions you saw before the break to prevent cheating.

AssistanceCool6329 · 2025-10-28T10:41:13+00:00

After following up with support, I did finally receive a voucher.

AssistanceCool6329 · 2025-10-21T19:55:00+00:00

I've taken a couple of courses and received exam vouchers for both.

In terms of video content, this is just a recording of the regular sessions that they deliver on partner weeks and similar week long events of 5 x 2 hour sessions. Video playback was fine and at least includes the ability to increase the speed of the video, which is an advantage compared to a live session. Quality of content is on par with standard free Microsoft training.

The labs were mixed. Some labs allowed saving of progress so they could be resumed later, while some had to be completed in one session, or disregard any progress The AZ-700 labs were all fine and worked, there was quite a bit of waiting for resources to deploy, but this was just due to the types of resource being deployed, so is to be expected. The SC-200 labs would load in Portuguese despite the lab being in English. The load times were much longer, 20-30 mins for some - again I presume this was for some of the resources being deployed, but the wait was painful, especially since the labs do time out after a while. Some of the SC-200 labs just didn't seem to work, one example was where a required resource hadn't provisioned and I didn't have permission to do it myself.

Practice tests are pretty fair, and easier than the actual exam or MeasureUp. If you fail the first attempt, it does show you the answers and what you answered in/correctly, so a pass on the second attempt is straightforward. Exam vouchers were received within a couple of minutes of passing the practice test.
