Anybody thats been down the System Admin path. what the certs and hard skills i need to become good at in the event somebody decides to give me that big break. I wanna be prepared.
Also im not feeling this Net + bullshyt, I been studying from sun up to sun down and the shyt is just an unnecessarily convoluted version of the A+
Because it covers the same fundamental networking stuff covered in A+ just to a more pedantic degree. shyt is built for pure memorization clearly because there's no meat and potatoes. At least A+ had tons of stuff I was interested in like Migration, Remote Assistance/Desktop, Imaging, System back-ups, Scheduling tasks, and NTFS permissions. I can see why this cert is considered the gold standard for entry level because it covers alot hardware-wise but keeps my attention.
Im thinking bout dropping Net+ and reapplying my voucher towards Sec+, ICND1, or ITIL
Need advice on which one should I pursue,
Short-term I wanna secure a Desktop Support role,
Long-term im trying to become SysAdmin, dont care if my 1st role underpays me i just need expereince, I just need someone to point me in the right direction as far as relevant certs and skills, I already know PowerShell is a must have since it can automate task according to BDIZZLE and a few others what else is there though.
By the way I just got contacted about a 6 week Desktop project that seems like it will put me on the right trajectory im trying to go which is
Desktop----> Jr. Sys Admin------> System Admin----------> System Engineer/Security Analyst (?)
Thanks in advance to anybody thats got some gems for me because Googling can sometimes be a minefield of bullshyt to wade through
