[rescue] Sun training

[Dunbar, Brian]

Michael,

Training provided by Sun is, in my experience, very very good.  Sprint paid
to send me to the Sun Admin I and Sun Admin II (and then laid me off two
months later) - each a one week course.  http://suned.sun.com/ lists several
centers in Virginia.

I had a background in LAN admin, pc repair and a casual aquantance of things
unix.  I found *some* of what was taught a bit .. esoteric, but nothing that
would be strange and unfamiliar if you've been doing this for a while.

	All,

	I wanted to get this groups opinion of were I should try and get
formal training in supporting Sun operating systems. The problem that I have
run into is that I have been tinkerring with my solaris boxs, and have
inadvertantly developed a reputation for knowing solaris. This only means
that I know more than the people around me. If this was just in my shop here
fine, but we also provide support for thirteen local school districts. 
	I find myself more and more on the phone trying to support a sun box
that I have never seen and has been administered for 5 years by various
people who did or did not have a clue. This is causing me to find myself in
a position were my little knowledge I have gained tinkerring is getting
swamped.
	I would like to find a formal enviroment that can take from begining
to end on supporting and configurring a sun box and hardware. The class
needs to be either online or based in the hampton roads area of virginia.
Does anyone have any advice on where I can find this training? If it
resulted in a sun certification at the end great, but I want this more for
my own knowledge.
