I purchased an older HP Z600 with 24gb of ram, dual processor Xeon X5570. It will be here in about a week. I also have a second system, a Core 2 with 2gb of ram, as a possible client system. I'm hoping to learn enough through self study for the MCSA. Any suggestions?
I ordered the Microsoft Press books on R2, and plan to read them. There are 10 of them in print. I also have Mastering Server 2012 R2, which seems like a good introductory book. I may need books on specific areas, like Active Directory, beyond what is in the Microsoft books. I'm currently using the 180 day trial version of Server, but I may be able to get a copy through school from DreamSpark that will last longer. Any recommendations on books or other things I may need? Will the Microsoft books be sufficient?
