The tasks listed here are basic steps that should be carried out on a periodic basis to maintain the network. By no means is this a complete or exhaustive list of all duties involved in maintaining a network! Although the majority of tasks described in this document are focused on Microsoft based networks, its possible to apply the basic principles to other platforms. Many of the tasks within this document can be automated. Please refer to the vendor or contact LogOn Technologies to initiate a service visit to discuss such options.

Reference Table
This document is organized in the following manner: Frequency of task. This dictates how often the tasks within the corresponding sections are to be carried out. Task title. This specifies the target task. Task table. This table is used to manage and track progress for the corresponding task. o Description of Task: Provides the reader with a brief description of the task and its significance. o Responsible Party: Provides a Primary and Secondary designation for responsible parties. If the Primary is absent or unable to perform the task it is the responsibility of the Secondary Party to ensure the task is done as scheduled. The final column is used as a checklist. Depending on the designated frequency for a particular task you will see a number of blocks that can be used as a check list to ensure tasks are done when necessary. You may use this area to communicate when a task was done by placing your initials with the date in the appropriate box. Notes/Comments: This area is used as a placeholder for notes. You may write down notes as you see fit.

Since each organization is different its up to the assigned Network Administrator to determine which mailing lists to subscribe to. One can accomplish this by either contacting the developers and/or manufacturers of the products on your network or by contacting LogOn Technologies to initiate a service request and have a consultant provide assistance.
