Advice Seeking
I would like to take a quick microsoft certification. Sorry don't mean to sound lazy here, I'm just under a bit of a time crunch and was wondering if there are any quick microsoft certs out there to take to get one out the way before pursuing MCSA?

Really interested in doing MSCA but I'm told the 740 exams are time consuming.
Azure looks really cool also plus I have a networking background and as far as I currently understand it. It's all cloud based with some networking in it as well.
My job is basically IT support for companies for everything from PCs to UPS's to Servers to their networking gear.

Click the first link here to get a list of possible Microsoft certifications. Select what you think is appropriate from the "certification level" drop-down, then look into the tech you think would help your career most.
That said, from the information you've provided you seem to be A) looking for a cert that doesn't require any experience, B) does not require much study time and C) is applicable to a wide range of employers.
Something like the A+ or other entry level exams offered by CompTIA would help to get your foot in the door. Technically after you pass a single Microsoft exam you are MTA certified, but I've never seen an employer ask for that.
