Then I would do asset management (unless your Wifi security is really bad you listed that one) I consider this more security than automation though. Somewhat an automation item- patches should be automatic. If something goes down or has an issue, you want to be alerted of it.

Have reliable nightly backups with a grandfather, father, son(GFS) setup. It is absolutely useful and should be on your list, but I would prioritize other things if they haven't been covered yet.īackups, number one. Unless you're looking to save time on tasks, I wouldn't prioritize automation. Just a general post, appreciate any and all words of advice/tips. This is a solo mission on my part, so I am given time to just watch YouTube and learn the things necessary to make life easier on the company. My question to you all is: where would you start after addressing the small projects? Automation? WiFi security? Asset management? If any of these what are the tools you used to establish/upgrade those aspects of your job. I plan to make myself more valuable than they expect, I have a lot of self created projects to better infrastructure and actually notate the hell that is the server closet. In a short few months I've gained some knowledge on MikroTik routers, Synology NAS, Ubiquiti networking, setting up a VPN, and server maintenance. Took up a job as a SysAdmin at a small company of 40 people with the idea that I will learn the systems required as I go, solo. When the links are captured between the assets and the instances of the services that they help to make available, 4me becomes a proper configuration management application.Been in IT for about 6 years, 25yo now. More information about this flexible integration capability can be found in the 4me Developer Documentation.

See Afraid of the CMDB? for more information on how to save months of discussions and tool customization effort for an asset management implementation.Ĥme’s API for discovery tools makes it easy to integrate with any popular discovery tool. That is because it only takes a single click in 4me to access all the attributes of an asset in the system management tool. This integration in the user interface of 4me also avoids the need for specialists to agree on the technical attributes that should be captured in 4me for each type of CI. These integrations also give specialists the ability to jump from a 4me configuration item (CI) record to its corresponding assets in system management tools with a single click so that they can quickly update the configuration of the CI or to remotely take it over. The standard integrations with discovery tools like Microsoft SCCM and Lansweeper make it easy to maintain this information in a fully automated fashion.
