So yes, in terms of security, is there anything else that I can do apart from resetting the administrator password ?
Can I ask you what's your experience in a SysAdmin role? You seems very uncomfortable with this new job.

Thanks for the reply guys, this is a new role that I was lucky to fill in. Previously I was just managing one Site only within the same city but in this new role, I will need to manage the various office branch across different time zones since I'll be working in the Head Quarter.

Thanks !

the other team members just a help desk, network engineer, DBA and Project manager.
This company does not have any ITIL process in place so it is quite relaxed, but the problem is that there are no documented procedures and diagram that can be easily understandable as a big picture.
Project documentation for each applications that are running on the platform like: Business case, Requirement gathering, High level design, As Build document, etc...
Most of the time people reactively solve the problem that is arise daily so no proactive monitoring in the company that is integrated like SCOM or Emite does.
