What do you do day-to-day as an IT Administrator?

  • Article

I am getting ready to create several short screencasts on Windows Server 2008 R2 that talk about the benefits to administrators with R2.  There are quite a few.  I want to create a list of stuff you do everyday, so I can focus the screencast topics.  I think I have a pretty good list, but let me know if I am off the mark.  My list of topics is below. 

So I have three questions for all of you and please email me any suggestions or comment: 

  • What did I miss?image
