I have been working lately on trying to round out my skill set again instead of being primarily focused just on the operating system.  One of the areas that I have started to look at again is Internet Information Server 7.  One of the best sites out there for free training material is http://learn.iis.net.   The site has a great overview that gets you up to speed on what IIS is capable of doing.  The site also has a download section, community section, forums section, and a blogs section.  The people that provide content are experts with IIS 7.  The videos that I have watched so far are spot on.  Check out the links below to learn more about the site.

Overview of The site –  learn.iis.net

Sysinternals continue to be a great set of tools.  It seems like I can learn something new about the suite on a daily basis.  I really wish I had additional time to learn all of the tools better.  Mark Russinovich has created another great post over on his blog.  He steps through how he solved a case involving his Mom’s computer.  She was trying to install Security Essentials and was getting a random error that Mark fixes.  Check out the blog post to hear more about it.

IT professionals have allot of resources to choose from to get there information.  One of the better sites that I like to check out is talkingaboutwindows.com.  The great part about the site is that it covers a wide range of topics that we deal with on a daily basis.  I also enjoy hearing from IT pros who are my peers to see how they are solving real world business problems.  I strongly encourage you to head on over to talkingaboutwindows.com.  I guarantee that you will learn something new.
