Hi Satish,

If your Microsoft Azure Administrator (AZ-104) certification has expired more than one year ago, you cannot renew it directly. Microsoft's renewal policy allows you to renew a certification only within six months before or after the expiration date.

So retake the AZ-104 Exam. Since your certification has expired, you must take the AZ-104 exam again to regain the certification..... Check the latest exam objectives, as Microsoft occasionally updates them.

If you want to stay updated, you can explore newer Azure certifications like AZ-305: Microsoft Azure Solutions Architect Expert (if you want to move into architecture) or AZ-400: Microsoft Azure DevOps Engineer Expert (if you're into DevOps)

Best regards,

Alex
