Ask HN: Resource for Learning Windows Internals / System Administration
Hi HN,<p>I&#x27;m looking for resources (books&#x2F;blogs&#x2F;websites) to learn about Windows internals and&#x2F;or system administration.<p>A bit of background:<p>I&#x27;m an experienced programmer (mostly backend). But I&#x27;ve never seriously worked with windows.<p>Now I need to work with windows sytems, mostly Windows 7 and Windows Server 2012. Most of the time, I need to do sysadmin type of work. For example, I often need to figure out why some app cannot connect to some SQL Server. I would also like to understand how to secure a windows system and how to properly manage VMs.<p>I&#x27;m familiar enough with linux that most of the time I know what to google&#x2F;stackoverflow for to find whatever answer I need when I&#x27;m stuck.<p>I want to get to this level for windows too. To have enough knowledge about the system internals in general, that I know what to search for.
