For those of you that work with AD on a part time basis - like the millions of IT generalists out there - the Directory Services team has posted a nice entry on how to get better at it.
It's a 4600-word blog entry on the areas you need to be well-versed in if you want to be designing and administering Active Directory. It's very thorough; he mentions "The process of building the depth of knowledge required may take years to acquire. With some help and guidance I hope to reduce this time to several months." That's the truth - this sort of thing would have been really handy for me years ago. <cranky old man with bad dentures doing a Walter Brennan impression> "When I was learning about AD, I had to listen to PDC '99 session audio tapes over and over again. There was no documentation." </cranky old man with bad dentures>
