Hi everyone,

My client asked me for a job description of a system administration because I might be assigned this position along with the other guy I'm working with. To be honest, I do not know much about a System Administrator's job but I'm willing to learn.

Questions:

1. What are the security requirements of a server? *
2. What are the key responsibilities in a system admin's job description?
3. What are some of the day to day tasks of a system admin?
4. What is the average monthly salary of a system admin?

Note: I will be working inside a Windows environment. But your replies do not necessarily need to be constricted to a Windows environment.

(*) Other software I know will be required are:

• Windows Server 2008
• IIS 7.0
• MS SQL Server
• .NET 4.0 Runtime

Let me know if there are other things I should be aware of as well. Thanks!
