The position of a system administrator can be very complex depending on the work environment. An administrator must constantly maintain the system, but also must be cognizant of the users and the group environment in which they work. Over time, system professionals become aware and implement best practices to demonstrate professionalism in a variety of situations.
Conduct research on best practices for a system administrator in the library or on the Internet. You can also use your own best practices if you have been working in IT.
