SearchWinIt has an interesting podcast that caught my eye just now, titled Microsoft issues largest patch bundle since August. However, the truly interesting thing to me was said around 5minutes 59 seconds into it. They said Brian Desmond, an Active Directory MVP, said that “Learning any scripting or programming language is especially important for those hoping to land jobs with larger companies”. Brian’s got some good stuff on his blog, so be sure an check it out here.

I am a Senior Systems Analyst with over 10 years experience as a network administrator in a Windows Environment and 16 Years in IT. I have administered and managed Exchange 5.5 to 2003, SQL 6.5 to 2005, IIS 3 to IIS 6, and I have a good amount of experience managing Cisco, Juniper and Watchguard network and firewall equipment. I believe that the best network administrators are lazy. They are always looking for easier ways to do things and automate the boring tasks, so they can focus on the more interesting work. Along these lines I have always tried over the years to script much of what I do with VBScript and Windows Management Interfaces (WMI) and to find tools that will help make my job easier. It is my hope to be able to share some of this information I've learned over the years with my readers and to be able to learn more in the process. READ MORE
