In one way or another, Windows Administration is part of almost every organization and covers everything from clients and servers to the cloud and identity management. Patrick Gorman AKA InfoSec Pat gives a 30,000 ft view of what the job of being a Windows System Administrator (SysAdmin) would entail. And it’s not all wizardry, even though it often feels that way.
As Patrick notes, “In the beginning, I had to figure out a lot of the job on my own, so this is the guide I wish I would have had when I started.” This UC will cover the key features of Windows Server, daily duties in the Windows System Administrator role specifically, and your tasks for Windows Server 2025 broadly.

What’s an Upskill Challenge (UC)?
A UC is a CTF-style, bite-sized lesson from the JHT Team, our courseware developers as well as “friends” of JHT. They are meant to be short and to the point. UCs focus on a single tool or concept and are helpful in quickly providing useful skills that might be prerequisites for other types of educational content on the platform.
A UC should be 10 – 30 minutes of student time and have no VMs. There are quizzes to make sure that the content is understood.
Prerequisites for “UC – Windows System Administrator”
UCs assume no knowledge at all! They’re meant to be completely self-contained, so all of the answers are in the lesson. No outside research is required.
