This might not be the right forum but I will still answer it.

I was also in the same situation as you are. Started of as a system/network admin in my initial job and then moved on to c#.

The first program I created was a calculator, it seemed easy but I learnt a lot of things.

Since I had knowledge about system and network adminstration, my next project was a network status utility. The initial version just checked if a pc/server in the network was switched on or not. In the 2nd version I made it automatically detect pc's in a network instead of me manually adding it, it had a screen which showed a green icon with the pc name to indicate it was switched on and a red icon to indicate it was switched off. I also had different icons for the pc, server and the routers. In the 3rd version I used WMI to fetch details about the machine. It could get the event viewer details and a lot more.

A lot of network utilities existed in the market when I did this. My main intention was to learn c# and doing this particular project made me learn a lot about .net. I touched every major class in .net with this project.

I would suggest you do a project with a domain you are strong with. That way you concentrate more on the learning part rather than trying to understand how the sytem should work. As a pc anaylst think about something you used daily or wanted to have.
