As a system administrator, I often get bogged down in responding to issues instead of taking a more proactive approach for preventing problems, but I want to change that. What are some of your suggestions for best practices around ongoing system maintenance?
Here are a few that I thought of:
- Ensure that data feeds are running smoothly.
- Review error logs and work with appropriate parties to resolve issues.
- Follow up on outstanding tickets.
- Regularly review user information for the following:
- Missing data
- Duplicate user profiles
- Admin Accounts – Review admin accounts to confirm that admin level access is still warranted.
- Power Users – Review power user access to ensure that permissions are appropriate for the User’s role.
