Novice Network Administrator Questions

by aaronpctech . Updated 20 years, 7 months ago

Hello all,

I am a long time reader, first time poster. I am somewhat of a novice network administrator/consultant. I was just assigned to this brand new location for a couple days a week and I am supposed to be “THE IT GUY”. I basically have to start from scratch in terms of documentation, mapping out the layout of the network, building up a better relationship with all the managers, improving the efficiency of the company, etc. etc.) My company has all ready installed all the servers, set up the network and all.

I’m kind of going to be like the hands and eyes of my PM. I really dont want to screw this up.

What I really want to know is , can you all provide me with some great tips on how to be super efficent and pretty much organize the place. Questions I should ask to learn more about the company and its functions. How to keep great relationships. Things I should look out for.

Things like that. If you know of any great books I should take a look at that would be appreciated as well.

Thank you so much much for any help you can provide. If i’m not being clear or whatever please let me know so that I can clarify myself.
