Load up some VMs and play around. You can setup multiple sites, domain hierarchies, configure group policies with clients, etc.

Yep...free virtualization software and evaluation copies of Windows Server will let you learn for free.Help eradicate blood cancers with a donation to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. -

I would say snag a copy of Sun's Virtual Box, Windows 2008 and Windows 7. For those with honestly no experience, you are going to have a big hurdle of concepts work through.
What's your background?
Ideally what you need to go is get a book on 70-640 and work slowly through it. Simulaneously you probably want to look into the MCITP: Enterprise Support technician cert.-Daniel -

VMWare is the answer. Load a server and a xp client and your on your way. AD is not a simple think to learn and either is running a AD infrastructure either. Take your time get a book or two. Stick with xp and 2003 i would not do 2008 server or windows 7. Companies are still running xp and 2003 servers.CompTIA A+ Nov 25, 1997
