Hello All,
I have just been given the management role overseeing our system adminstration area. I come from project managment in the programming/DBA arena. As a manager I am looking for opinions on what you would consider the core responsibilities of a system administrator. Now some of these I'm very aware of (setting up and configuring servers, network troubleshooting, security, patches, etc...). What about things like documentation. Stepping into this role we have no formal diagrams of our network, no formal disaster recover plans or business continuity plans, no offical hardware tracking...basically no formal anything. It is all in the system admins head (what if they get hit by a bus?...I know). I need to get things squared away more formally but not having managed a system admin department I am looking for opinions on what you think is important and what you could take or leave. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.
