MicrosoftHow Windows Server helped your career?
Hello from sunny Orlando, FL!
We're here working on the final details for Microsoft Ignite 2018. During the week, we're hosting a party for the Windows Server community, and we'd like to know how Windows Server helped your career!
We know most of you have been working with Windows Server for years - if not decades - and we'd like to have your story showcased in the party. Please leave a short comment (1-2 phrases) in this post, so we can have in the monitors during the party! Even if you're not there with us, we want to show our appreciation to the support you dedicated to Windows Server over the years!
See you there!
Vinicius.

I owe my career to Windows Server.
I started as a junior admin years ago.
I contributed my first substantial code change (that was more than just a bug fix) to the Windows Server code base this year. The change was small but it marks an enormous personal milestone for me.
- Inherited a broken website on IIS4 in college, fixed the asp pages for the CompSci department, and have never stopped learning Windows Server enhancements ever since. One could say Windows Server releases have been my career building blocks!
- First MCSE in the 90’s with NT4 right through to multiple MCSEs and still teaching Server Infrastructure courses alongside Windows 10, SharePoint and System Center. Eventually got MCSE Cloud Infrastructure and heavy Azure. Couldn’t have done it without Windows Server deep background all these years.
- Rick ClausI bet my career on Windows Server way back in the NT 4 days and have stuck with it to present day WS2019. Haven’t looked back. :)
