windows server 2008 - Is it possible to enter System Administration field without experience



HI Guys ,




I currently Work as web developer(3 years). I want to move into System Administrative field.
I am currently doing job so can get any training.



My company has one computer called server with 2TB HD 8GB RAM XEON, which is only used to store files nothing else.



I just keep experimenting things on that server. Initially it had only windows 2003 server installed but as i was trying to learn more about the Windows. I installed 2008 server and then installed VMware Workstation and then two VM 1)Again 2008 server 2)Ubuntu



Just for experimenting.




MY Main question is by experimenting this way and doing some certifications LIke MCITP,VCP.
Can i enter the System Administartor field.I think i can finish some certifiaction within few months. Can i try all practical stuff on that server?



IF i write in my resume that i can done all that stuff while working for that web design company . Will that be considered as experience or not



thanks


Answer



Of course you can get into system administration with no experience. Everyone has no experience at some point :)



If you really want to get into it, there's a couple of things you should do:





  • Experiment & learn on your own time
    as well (at home, etc)

  • Find yourself a job as a junior
    sysadmin at a smallish company
    where a more senior sysadmin can
    mentor you.
