Note from the vendor record: Retires September 30, 2026 at 5:00 PM Central Standard Time per the exam page warning, and Microsoft's 'Exam and assessment lab retirement' page lists AZ-801 with a retirement date of September 30, 2026. Microsoft's Skills Hub transition notice (updated May 28, 2026) names the replacement: Microsoft Certified: Windows Server Administrator Associate (Exam AZ-802), beta July 2026 with training and exam expected August 2026. The Windows Server Hybrid Administrator Associate certification lists required exams AZ-800, AZ-801, and AZ-802; no formal prerequisites are published beyond recommended experience, and renewal is a free annual (12-month) online assessment. Caveats: the exam page still shows 'Retirement date: none' in its Schedule section despite the banner, English content was last updated October 6, 2025, and price is geo-dependent with taxes excluded.
