General Administration Questions...I'm a Newbie

[towntopic]

I just upgraded a computer from XP SP2 to SBS2003 and have everything running just fine...i.e. Exchange, OWA, Remote Desktop, FTP (serv-u), and IIS. I'm brand new to System Administration and am wondering if I could pick your brains as to what technologies of Server2003 / Exchange 2003 I should look into first. I guess I looking for a place to start as there is so much to learn..scripting, Active Directory, Terminal Server, OMA, etc.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Learn the basics of the server first, then start getting into the other stuff. I recommend getting a book from Sybex called Windows Server 2003 by Mark Minasi. This book basically covers everything you ask except Exchange, and scripting which covers two entirely different beasts.

The cool thing is you found this site that will try to help with any type of questions you come up with.

Thanks for the reply and recommendation of the book by Mark Minasi. I have a stable handle on the server as we run SBS2000 in my office and I've slowly been taking over responsibility for it. The SBS2003 computer is my home computer which is basically a testing ground for when we upgrade and so that I can advance the company technologically as SBS2003 is so much cooler and more powerful than SBS2000.

Thanks again for the recommendation.
