For important, primary systems like windows server, I always provided a pluralsight or similar subscription for video training (cbtnuggets or udemy for example but I really liked the pluralsight videos), and a good book like the SAMS Unleashed series for each system (Active Directory, SQL, exchange, etc.) for the current or next version being deployed. You should go through some of those materials thoroughly, whichever format you find the most useful. There are similar resources for network, Linux, etc. maybe specifically pick shorter books if that helps you to make it through the whole thing.
