The problem is there is currently NO name. I report to the Service Desk manager but I’m an SE, not a Service Desk guy. Nobody else builds servers for internal use (and this happens frequently around here), manages AD, SMS, Shavlik patching, and server-delivered apps/web sites, blah blah blah. It’s not my job title I’m wondering about, it’s my department name which currently doesn’t exist.

In the last 3 years here they have renamed our group 3 times. No functional difference. When I was hired, my title was "Systems Engineer" they recently modified position titles and now we are called "Technical Support III" again, no functional difference in the job or the requirements. So I wouldn't get hung up on group names. May I suggest BOFH?

It’s largely a forgone conclusion that I will have another SE and probably a DBA join me so we can *fully* take over the care and feeding of the Active Directory and server infrastructure. What would be an appropriate dept/team name be? What is the dept name of your guys’ teams that manage AD and servers?
