About system administration, linux and servers notes
GoConqr OriginalSystem Administration, Linux and Servers notes
These notes cover tasks and concepts across Linux and Windows Server. They include Linux processes, file systems and user management, alongside Active Directory, group types and remote server management.
For a starting point on Linux, Linux File System explains the recommended file hierarchy. The notes on command-line navigation then cover commands for finding your location and moving between directories. On the Windows side, Group types explains how groups bring accounts together, while Active Directory Schema snap-in gives installation steps.
Revising with notes
Read a note on the task you are studying, then revisit its steps or key terms without looking. If you want to check your understanding with questions, switch to a quiz on the unit page. Flashcards can also help you revisit terms and commands. Pick a note that matches your current topic and work through it at your own pace.
Frequently asked questions
Which note is a useful place to start with Linux?
Linux File System is a starting point if you want to understand how files and directories are organised. For practical navigation, the notes on using the command line cover commands such as pwd, ls and cd. Both are listed on this page.
What Windows Server topics do the notes cover?
The listing includes notes on Active Directory, group types, PowerShell cmdlets and managing earlier Windows Servers through Server Manager. There are also notes on preparing for Windows Server 2012 and managing print servers remotely, so you can find material for several different administration tasks.
Are these notes free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open and study without an account. The notes were made by GoConqr users, rather than by GoConqr. A free account also lets you save quiz scores and make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.
