MD-102, Take a Stab at it. Study Materials.
I am currently work on SEC+, Take the exam next week. After that I will take the CySA+ in about 12 weeks. (School Schedule). I am looking to review the for the MD-102 exam also and take a stub at it. With 12 weeks, available. I figure I could dedicate 30+ days to reviewing for this exam and take it mid-July. I have been working with Windows for a good bit of time, (Windows 10). I have the Sybex book for MD-100/101 and I have been looking it over, but I just did not take time to study fully for both exams, I figure 1 exam is better then 2, (cost wise).
How difficult would the MD-102 be studying from scratch, with some knowledge of Windows 10, Server 2012 and Windows 7/Server 2008.
Any material anyone can recommend??
I was able to purchase a udemy training course, for $20 with some practice exams.
I am looking at
on Amazon, but not sure if this covers MD-100/101 and NOT MD-102.
I feel this CERT might provide some additional hiring power on my resume.
Any input would be appreciated.

I am also studying to take this exam for an upcoming interview (and additionally the MS-900 which should be much easier).
Here are the two courses I purchased from Udemy (you may need to be logged in to view them):
I haven't found any published materials (I did find an answer key but that's not quite as useful as hands-on knowledge)
Most of my experience has been on-prem with little cloud interaction so I need all the help I can get.

I recently did MD-100 and MD-101 exams. Found them quite challenging due to the fact I just don't use many of the features of the OS or I never bothered to create local GP but use domain based GP. I used the above Udemy course by John Christopher and found it a good guide. I needed to do lots of labbing to understand how to connect the dots on what happens if I change x and how it affects y.
I recommend spinning up about 4 client VM's along with a Windows server and get a trial Azure / 365 subscription.
You can use the old resources or wait for more updated materials. I'm sure you can just do more testing with Win 10/11 as opposed to deprecated Win 7.
Use any practice tests as a guide to facilitate learning and where you need to improve. -

Thanks for everyone comments, I unfortunately failed my SEC+ by 49 points, 701. I will be retaking it next year, as I am working on the CySA+ exam for the end of Sept. I have set up a lab on Server 2022 and installed 4 copies of Window 10 and 2 copies of Windows 8, I plan to make a Domain Type Environment, as I added 3 Server 2022 copies. I did purchased some udemy courses when they were on sale.
The MD-102: Endpoint Administrator PRACTICE EXAM 2023 and MD-100 and MD-102 certification course with SIMULATIONS
Additionally, I have some Videos by another company that I former co-worker download for me on MD-100 and MD-101, which will be good review. I would just like to find a book that covers the exam, but considered that it is a fairly new exam, the MD-100 and MD-101 will expire at the end of this month, material should be available in August, I won't be taking it until after September.
I decide to wait until after September, it seems the school, did not have one course this current term, so I have been extended until Nov. 3rd, another 6 weeks.
Candy Corn, you might check on the link, one of the recommendations is forMS-100 & MS-102 certification course with SIMULATIONS, not MD-102, hopefully you did not purchase the wrong course.

MD-102 replaces MD-100 and MD-101 exams. Old materials can still be used to be familiar with the technology -

I’m currently studying for this exam now. I hope to pass it by the end of the year. Once I pass this exam I will be a 365 Expert. -

Brought the MD 101 book last year maybe even in 2022. REALLY meant to do more than just reference it a couple of times. Now I need to get the MD 102 material and ACTUALLY do the exam.
