You may have read my post from June on System and Network Administrators Tasks along with my little update to that post in July. If you happen to miss that post, I identified the tasks that I feel every System and Network Administrator need to understand to become better administrators. I am republishing this list, as I would like to touch base on a couple of topics related to this list over my next few posts.
1. Backups are a requirement and are crucial to your success
2. Monitoring Tools
3. Maintain Service Contracts with all vendors
4. Maintain Version Control
5. Consistent Hardware Builds and Software Installations
6. Documentation
7. Communication
8. Teamwork
9. Training and Schooling
10. Stay Current with Technology
11 Know your users or your customers
12 Know your line of business
