an active and capable network administrator. On an active network with many users, the
necessary administrative tasks can require a lot of time. It is nearly impossible for one

component, including Windows NT Server itself, requires a significant level of expertise
and knowledge.

manages the components of Windows NT server that allow it to attach to a network and
communicate with other devices. The administrator's duties include the following:
Creating user and group accounts
Sharing resources

domains
Monitoring and maximizing server performance
Configuring appropriate network protocols
Configuring the server hardware
- Managing network-specific services such as Schedule and
Alerter
Network administrators also usually bear
responsibility for establishing an appropriate backup strategy. The actual backups are
generally performed by backup operators, less experienced people who are trusted to
perform this vital administrative task. Network administrators may also formulate and
enforce security policies, although larger organizations usually assign this function to a
different person or group.
Network administrators may have duties
managing additional software components or services that run on the server.

Administration (UNIX ™ or NT ™), Database Administration, Backup Services, and Monitoring Services.
