Hey everyone! I'm excited to join the conversation as I step into a SysAdmin/Helpdesk position at my company. I've been a Data Analyst but have a knack for tech and troubleshooting. While I'm still juggling both roles, I've started tackling some IT tasks like migrating users to Entra ID, managing licenses, and setting up hardware for new folks. I'd love to get some insights from those of you with SysAdmin experience. What are your best tips for someone starting out? Any must-have tools or advice on managing Microsoft Entra ID, Microsoft 365, or hybrid AD environments? What are your time-saving hacks? I want to learn as much as I can before it all gets too hectic! Thanks in advance!

It’s great that you’re diving into SysAdmin! One key piece of advice is to embrace learning the hard way. While automating tasks is efficient, knowing the basics manually helps you understand the system better. Check out sandbox courses on the MS Learning site; they’re super helpful for getting hands-on experience. Every environment is unique, so focus on really understanding how things are set up at your company – that’s where you’ll see the most benefits in the long run.
Good point! Manual practice builds a strong foundation. Always a good idea to familiarize yourself with your specific environment.
