Where to look for practical tasks for a system administrator?

Question

System administration

Tell me a resource where there are practical tasks (not tests with questions) to develop skills.

Answer 1

I won’t suggest resources, but with practical exercises please:
Raise the domain controller + reserve with replication. Install the Active Directory, DNS, DHCP roles on it. In policies, configure passwords with numbers, letters, upper, lower cases. Installing applications over the network. Prevent certain applications from running. The ban on connecting removable devices via usb. Make a Windows installation image with enterprise software already installed. For example: office suite + archiver + browser + Music player + pdf / djvu reader. Set up a regular backup, local WSUS. Raise a proxy with user authorization through AD, ad blocking with IDS, IPS. With a cheerful redirect. For example, when a user wants to go to social networks or porn, he will be redirected to a page with some kind of cool picture and an inscription like: "work!!!" Ideally, collect squid+sams+rejik (AD) on a freighter. And also install mydlp community. So that the info is not leaked. Yes, and with all this, it is advisable to keep a diary for yourself on the work done, the difficulties and methods for solving them. Enough work for a couple of months? At the end of all this, if you make a FULL backup, format all servers and deploy backups so that everything works and you spend a maximum working day on it. Good luck.

Answer 4

=D here. A question from the category "give me something to read about chess, otherwise I'm afraid to sit down for them." System administration is the whole thing!!!!!! practical lesson. It is impossible to display a spherical horse in a vacuum and do something with it! Here's a practice session for you. Expand the hypervisor. On it, raise the virtual machine with the gateway and the user's virtual machine. =D Do you imagine it like that?
I'm just leading to the fact that in system administration there are 2 types of practical tasks. hemorrhoids that you create for yourself (in an attempt to study this or that product) and hemorrhoids that users of your network create for you (due to unwillingness to study this or that product).
