Hello I have been administering windows environments professionally since since 2005 and Azure since 2015.
I currently hold the following Microsoft Certs:
Microsoft® Certified Solutions Expert: Cloud Platform and Infrastructure Charter Member - 2016
Microsoft® Certified Solutions Expert: Server Infrastructure - 2014
MCSA: Windows Server 2012 - 2012
Microsoft Certified Professional - 2014
I am scheduled to take the AZ-305 tomorrow and want to achieve Microsoft Certified: Azure Solutions Architect Expert.
I am curious if I will still have to take AZ104 to achieve this or can my existing certs and relevant professional experience be sufficient prerequisite to achieve "Azure Solutions Architect Expert" after passing AZ305 ?

Microsoft Certification Program is supported on their own forums. I'd try asking for help with certification renewal in dedicated forums here. (Participate\Ask A Question)
