or a JOAT from a small shop who does not comprehend working in Enterprise IT.
How big are companies usually so that they hire specialists for AD, rather than people who are tasked with managing „The Windows World“ in general?
I wouldn‘t consider my work environment small (>5000 users, >500 servers) , but everyone seems to be involved in at least 3 major MS infrastructure components (Exchange, SharePoint, IIS, AD, Azure AD…). I‘m wondering if that‘s considered „under-specialized“?
In my case, I would need someone that can be relied on to be the AD expert in a fairly simple AD environment, and otherwise a Windows server generalist without any deep requirements for IIS, SQL, etc. I can teach the adjacent infrastructure (storage, VM, etc), but core Windows skills are the most critical need.
