The system administrator is oftentimes called upon to also double as webmaster for the company. Therefore, knowing how to create and maintain a web page is very helpful. Oracle is a database program. It would come in handy for keeping track of employeeswhere they go while on the internet, their phone number, salary, and a number of other things. Apache is a server software. It got its name from being a spin-off of a previous software that was patched (a patchy). It hosts more than 50% of all the sites in the world. As before, there is almost an infinite amount of knowledge of software that could all be helpful, but knowing everything is almost impossible. So if you don't know it all, don't worry. You can always take classes at LSSU!! Ok. Now that we have the basics out of the way, let's get back to some of the job descriptions. Adding and Configuring New WorkstationsWhen the network gets setup, it's basically a bunch of computers (workstations) connected to a central computer (server) using NICs and cables. Making sure that valid computer and workstation names is a major part in this. Also, using the correct protocols, adapter, and client are also important.There is much more involved, such as file sharing, but due to space conservation, that is a good start.Setting Up User AccountsOnce you get the network operating (all of the workstations can communicate and share with the server) then you have to set up users to have access to whatever you want them to. User names and passwords must be chosen, as well as a list of who can have access to what. Things such as email addresses and web space could be allocated by giving users specific amounts of space on the server.Installing System-Wide SoftwareSome software would be better run off of the ...
