Curious as to some hourly rates that are expected. I've had a couple small businesses come to me lately that would like me to support their shops. This would be side jobs/off hours.

At least in the metro NYC area. ASB http://about.me/Andrew.S.Baker Harnessing the Advantages of Technology for the SMB market. On Thu, Aug 4, 2011 at 3:55 PM, Joseph L.

Exchange 2010 3. 6 total windows servers from file to sql etc 4. 6 Redhat machines in various roles 5. a few procurves 6. A bsd vpn/firewall 7. Some other misc network equipment like printers/card scanners etc. I know it depends on the specifics but I need just what range some folks might expect that to be in. I am stepping out of that duty and the owner (lots of history here) is asking me for some info.
