Overview

A server administrator is responsible for the operations and day-to-day management of an infrastructure of servers for an enterprise organization. Windows server administrators manage the infrastructure, Web, and IT application servers. Holding a premier, industry standard certification like the MCITP on Microsoft's Windows Server 2008 platform clearly demonstrates an ability to provide professional level server administration to large and mid-sized companies. In this course, Microsoft Certified Trainer Mark Long teaches you the technologies you need to know to help prepare for the MS 70-646 Pro: Windows Server 2008, Server Administrator exam. Passing this exam (after passing exams 70-640 and 70-642) will earn you the Server Administrator MCITP certification. Work files are included.

"Beware this does not cover 2008R2" - by Anonymous on 29-JAN-2013

I didn't realize before I added it to my bookshelf.  This only covers the older retired exam.  There is likely some worthwhile material in here still but be careful using this as a study guide at this point as many things did change between 2008 and 2008 R2 and the exams have focused on R2 since 2010.
