We have 20+ servers, 300 workstations, 250 users dispersed over 7 locations (as much as 100 miles apart) with 3 support staff (I'm in that group) and 2 programers. The mutiple offices is the killer.

________________________________ From: Jake Gardner To: NT System Admin Issues Sent: Tue Nov 11 10:45:25 2008 Subject: staff to equipment to end users ratios What is everyone's ratio of staff to servers and/or network equipment? Staff to end user support? We have 225+ end users supported by 1 person whom I have to help if she gets backed up. I am in charge of the network infrastructure and 10+3 servers (Prod+Dev) and have no one to help me when I get backed up, and that's not a complaint! I don't like people screwing up my servers. There are 3 developers in IT for our internal apps, and I need to support them like a babysitter sometimes. If you are a developer and can't research your own error messages... don't talk to me and seriously don't tell me my server is misconfigured! ;) Thanks, Jake Gardner TTC Network Administrator Ext. 246 ***Teletronics Technology Corporation*** This e-mail is confidential and may also be privileged.
