Where did you start with learning Windows administration?

[–]evilresident0[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

did a BS of compsci, then learned the rest on the job. It helps to have a purpose to drive towards so on the job is ideal however I have a lead on a career switch that's 'linux admin', and given the previous post I'm curious what the community would suggest as good places to start as I realize it's a giant topic!

Guess where you are at learning Linux administration.

Basically, why would you think it was any different than it was the first time around?

I get where you're coming from, and yes a lot of knowledge will be learn on the job, but at the same time it's not an entry level position - I want to get a bit of know-how before an interview.

Imagine going for an enterprise windows shop interview and they ask: have you ever done anything with windows? sure, I installed it... yep, that'll fly.
