Greetings Everyone,

I am joining due to my hardware background is now being utilized as an IT admin for my son's school. I have no windows server experience what so ever. I am going to try to crash course this as this summer I will have to deploy a new server! YELP!

Currently I am in charge (using the term loosely, I more just watch)
1 Windows Server 2003 Ent - (Domain, DNS, SQL, Roaming Profiles, Etc)
60ish Systems
90 Users

If anyone could point me in the right direction to start learning WS2008R2 I would greatly appreciate it!

I apologize in advance for all my dumb questions!

Hi and welcome.

Regarding your request, depends on how much time you want to spend and which is your starting level.

You could buy Microsoft's books regarding WS2k8, but they aren't so easy. On amazon you can find this book I bought time ago:

Code:
http://www.amazon.com/Mastering-Microsoft-Windows-Server-2008/dp/0470532866/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1305404978&sr=8-1

Of course you should have some basics, if not, start with this one:

Code:
http://www.amazon.com/Windows-Server-2008-Reference-Dummies/dp/0470180447/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1305405075&sr=1-1

Which covers also Active Directory really in a easy way.

Enjoy your stay!
