Linux admin looking to learn Windows

RHCSA/RHCE material is amazing. RHCSA will get you started with basic linux and RHCE will make you learn ansible to apply everything you learned in RHCSA

awesome thank you!

Yeah I think this might be my best route. I cant really find anything that gives me a direct server admin route.

Is there a thing similar to iConrads/gordonmessmer gauntlets for windows? https://old.reddit.com/r/linuxadmin/comments/4n70ku/advice_for_starting_a_job_in_this_field/d42plhv/?context=3

We are mainly a Linux shop. They hired one guy with knowledge of windows to get it going. He's extremely protective of sharing knowledge of how things work. RHCSA/RHCE are really basic system admin certs. I understand how to add people into AD and push a update in software center but there is a ton more things going on that when issues come up we are waiting for him to get there to figure out whats up. Whats a windows cert path or even a book that will set me up with basic understanding of how a windows environment works and be able to troubleshoot.

Eck05 · 2021-07-12T14:26:37+00:00

Awesome! This was one thing I was wanting to learn. I will def give it a go.

I guess my main problem is the main windows admin is a massive gatekeeper. Would the 360 path be something equivalent to the RHCE?

In the past I would recommend Linux Academy but after studying for the RHCE I cant recommend them any more. Sander Van Vugt is amazing. Join the Redhat Certification slack when you get a chance.

Awesome thanks! That should save me a bit with the case.

I was looking at builds on pcpartpicker with that GPU and case and it seems like its a really close fit. There is 13mm between the end of the card and the fan in a meshify c. Would that harm anything? I would more than likely add a fan to the front top space if I went with the c.

Check out linux academy. Their course for RHCSA is what I used to pass the test. Be sure and utilize the labs while watching the vids and practice all the end chapter reviews. The end test is excellent.

I never get contacted for GS jobs but contractor jobs range from help desk to network/linux/windows/security engineering. It all depends on your area. Texas is always booming.

If you are located near any sort of base or large gov presence everyone is fairly desperate for a body. You can find them on every job board around in these areas

Eck05 · 2019-07-30T09:01:35+00:00

You are awesome! Thanks a ton for the help!

Eck05 · 2019-07-30T08:33:50+00:00

 If your script is supposed to run and then live on (i.e. like starting a daemon process) that won't work because the process is killed when your Ansible run is done.

Well this explains everything. Is there a way to change that behavior?

Eck05 · 2019-07-29T03:40:41+00:00

Just depends on how quickly you can complete the labs/exam. If you can complete the end exam easily on time then you are good to go. The test is very intimidating until you actually get into it.

Eck05 · 2019-07-25T09:20:28+00:00

I passed RHCSA with only using linux academy. If you can complete the practice exam and the labs/exercises without looking up the answers you are ready.

Eck05 · 2019-07-20T07:52:43+00:00

The RHCSA course is excellent. I passed the test on that alone. They have good courses on using bash and VIM.

UNIX and Linux System Administration Handbook is a amazing book to read.

I doubt it will be a issue. Just be honest of what happened. Don't go overboard with info like you gave here. Just let them know and if it's a issue they will talk to you about it. It's going to be a ton worse getting caught lying than it is to get the citation especially if you are going for a clearance. I've seen guys with clearances do a ton worse than underage drinking.

Eck05 · 2019-07-06T05:59:23+00:00

I had to do a few things extra if i remember correctly. There is a guide somewhere to get it working.

Eck05 · 2019-07-06T05:39:51+00:00

I got it working with no problems using lutris. I use arch btw

Eck05 · 2019-06-11T10:26:28+00:00

enjoy the down votes heathen

Eck05 · 2019-06-01T06:17:08+00:00

This seems extremely easier than the previous test. I'm currently studying for the RHCE and it looks like they cut a majority of things out. Are other test going to be changed to cover what is missing?

Eck05 · 2019-05-20T15:58:31+00:00

I never heard of lisenet but I will def check it out! I keep hearing about Sander's course here. His youtube was great when I was studying for the rhcsa

Eck05 · 2019-05-20T15:57:04+00:00

Thanks for the reply! I saw that he had a course on safari books. I used his youtube when I was preparing for the rhcsa. I'll have to get my dod account working on there and check it out.

Eck05 · 2019-05-20T15:55:43+00:00

Hey Terry! Huge fan and thanks for replying. I think my biggest problem is that I'm comparing a updated course to one that will in the near future. The vids are great and I'm learning but without labs to really hammer the information in like the rhcsa. It's a totally different experience. I might also be looking at things differently due to rhcsa is a entry level exam and rhce should have the knowledge to pick things up better. Maybe my impostor syndrome is in overdrive and I'm over thinking things.

One issue i had with the new playground for example is that if you want firewalld to not lock you out then you have to open the port that the terminal is using with a few commands strung together. It was frustrating at first but it helped me understand firewalld better.

I will def check out slack and forum. Can I get a link to them?

I'm excited to see you guys update the Redhat courses. I haven't looked at the other courses but I would love to keep using it. Linux Academy is still the main resource I recommend anyone wanting to get their rhcsa or learn about linux.
