It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, see the FAQ.

That is a really difficult question to answer. Really depends on the company that you are working for, what they do, size of the company, technologies they use. For the most part, sysadmins are often a jack of all trades and dealing with databases is just part and parcel of the job. Edit: That said though, if you're strictly looking to be a network admin vs systems admin then you are unlikely to need to know anything about MSSQL. |

In relation to the MCITP Server Administrator and Enterprise Administrator certification paths, you do need to know some basic things about SQL Server. Such as what kind of RAID would suit. You should know about shared storage options, such as SAN's & iSCSI & the requirements for basic HA setup, i.e. shared storage + MS clustering. You'll also need to be aware of the basic functionality of SCOM. What MOSS & WSS are & when you would use one over the other. It's all part of making sure you know how to operate within the Mircosoft family :-) |
