I highly recommend this book (vendor neutral):

LPI Linux Certification in a Nutshell
 by Jeffrey Dean, Jeffery Dean
 
Take a couple of weeks and read it very slowly.
This will give you good, strong, and necessary skills to run
Linux in a business environment.  There will be a HUGE learning
curve for you.  You NEED to have the fundamental skills.

Then you will need to learn Samba.
http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/SambaIntro.html

You will ALWAYS have Windows desktops to support and samba
allows you to run linux and serve windows desktops.

Happy reading.
