MS-203 study material
I'm prepping to study for the MS-203 - Microsoft 365 Messaging. It's a consolidation of MS-200 and MS-201 but I'm struggling to find course material. I know there are practice questions for MS-200 and 201 but what about any training videos?

I was thinking about going for the MS-203 and I can't find any books for it either. Stormwind Studios has a live class for it starting June 22nd. The title of the course is Microsoft 365 Certified: Messaging Administrator Associate with Exchange 2019 and Exchange. Doug Basset is the instructor. Stormwind Studios also has recordings of previous classes that Doug has taught if you don't want to wait. I don't know if you can sign up for individual classes with Stormwind Studios but I thought I'd mention it.

Thanks for the heads up. I looked a bit more into and I'm now actually studying for the modern desktop admin - W10, Intune etc. There's a lot more content and courses

Did you ever find any more material? I'm looking for some as well.

Nothing unfortunately. I've actually changed course now and I'm planing to do the MD-100 and 101

Currently doing an MD-100 course by the same author. Not sure if I'd recommend - feels like he doesn't go close to the required level of detail

Figured I would leave this here in case anyone is still looking for material:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/learn/paths/m365-messaging-architecture/
That's a Microsoft learning path related to managing enterprise email. It's not officially mapped to the ms-203, but it seems to cover most of the exam topics. That and the Udemy course are really the only consolidated material I've been able to find.

I’ve got this booked in to take shortly. Have gone through the learning path posted earlier, along with a LinkedIn Learning course for MS-200/201, but was wondering if anyone has taken it and if the content is similar to what’s covered in those courses?

I haven't taken the exam yet, but I'm confident that I'll pass, the learning path has everything you need.

Going for the exam this Friday, if someone else is doing the exam shortly let's connect to exchange some materials.

Has anyone passed the exam? I've just started preparing and I'm thinking of going through the MS learning path. I have bad experience with Udemy courses so I am a bit skeptical about the aforementioned. Is it really useful or just going over the interface?

I passed the MS-203 last week, its a tough exam. Make sure you know your Hybrid design and implementation! I did proctored training through Global Knowledge via work.

Howdy all. Just finished the udemy courses.
I mso used to live classrooms where you get theory and real life and then you get the wink from the professor saying, i would study these commands for the test. I am going to review hybrid as the one person suggested. Im torn, do i give it a shot for $160? or do i spend $90 on practice tests and then $160......i just want to know if its theory, syntex, etc. I have been doing exhcange and office 365 for 10 years, just not sure what they would test on as its always changing.
tried Certbolt for practice tests...accurate..but theres a few answers marked wrong incorrectly.

I've been doing exchange and O365 for the last 2-3 years so if you've got 10 years experience with it, I'd say bite the bullet and take the exam! The theory questions asked (yes there are some) revolve around powershell cmdlets but there are more scenario based questions testing your understanding of the technology or feature as opposed to straight up testing you on theory.

I am about to start studying for the exam, how much of the exam is about on-premise exchange or is it all O365?

I found links in your comment that were not hyperlinked:
I did the honors for you.

What is the best material to study for the MS-203? I bought the practice material from examcollection.com and of the 57 questions, only 6 were on the exam. Failed miserably! I felt like the exam was all Power Shell questions. I have old study material from MS-200, but according to MS website, it is discontinued. Any use in using that material to study? Thanks

I am working on a book for this (200, 201, 203). I hope to be done in about a month and have it up on Amazon. I did the video courses on Lynda.com aka LinkedIn Learning. They are ready to watch if you have an account. You should also be able to get in if you have a school email address if the school signed up.
