Ed Bott’s Microsoft Challenge–10/12/00

While prowling the Technical Q&A boards at TechRepublic this week, I found a dandy of a question that deserves a wider audience. A TechRepublic member wants to assemble daily, weekly, and monthly lists of general responsibilities for the administrator of a small- to medium-sized network (up to 500 users). Some tasks are obvious–tape backup and a quick scan of Event Viewer logs, for instance–but what else should be on a daily/weekly/monthly to-do list? Have you put together task lists for the IT professionals in your organization? Share your secrets with fellow TechRepublic members and earn 2000 TechPoints.
