What is Windows Server Hybrid Administrator Program?

Windows Server Hybrid Administrator Program is an associate-level, 3 months instructor-led course that prepares you for the AZ-802 exam at INFOTICS Academy in Karachi. Delivery: Live online / on-site (Karachi). The course fee is PKR 90,000. Register your interest and we will tell you when the next batch opens.

Most organisations still run Windows Server on-premises while extending into Azure. A Windows Server hybrid administrator keeps both worlds working: Active Directory Domain Services, DNS and DHCP, Group Policy, Hyper-V, file services, failover clustering, backup and disaster recovery, all connected to Azure with Azure Arc and Windows Admin Center.

The programme follows the AZ-802 exam, which replaced AZ-800 and AZ-801 in 2026 as the single exam for the Windows Server Hybrid Administrator Associate certification. It covers both core hybrid infrastructure and advanced services such as security, high availability, disaster recovery and migration. Labs are built around realistic branch-office and datacentre scenarios.
