You need to start reading cbks right now in all your free time. Even if you don't take the cert exams for the cbks below, it is knowledge you need to know asap.

​

I suggest these (in order):

There are two exam-prep books available - the Sybex study guide by Troy McMillan and the All-in-One Server+ book by Daniel LaChance.

Either of those will teach you what you need to know.

If you don't have experience with Active Directory and domain controllers, there are probably some free videos on YouTube to teach you the basics of those. Or look for free/inexpensive courses on Lynda, Coursera, or Udemy.

I read this book and with the practice test did okay, it helped that I had hands on experience so it was easy.

I didn't even bother with the sims but if you have time and no experience I would say try them out.

Study this book and Pluralsight server+ videos.

-Watched the videos read the book and took the practice the test from the book.

Tempting to be that guy..but link above is for a book I used, and most video training is available through CBT/Pluralsight etc in some fashion or another. Also, for any reference material, always best to first check vendors sites on specific certs and 99% will list books or additional training options.

Best of luck.

It was easy. This was all I really needed:
