So...my team has been asked to estimate some time we spend on various projects and other work. I have 100 Windows servers and 400 workstations (PC's and laptops). I am the sole person in charge of keeping the desktops patched, up to date on McAfee, report into WSUS, SMS, etc. I do most of the Active Directory maintenance when it comes to creating new security groups for access (Service Desk does main these groups once I have created them).
Basically if it related to central desktop management and server management, it's just me. I have estimated I spend 3 hours every day on these administrative tasks. 400 systems and about 250 users, that doesn't sound excessive, does it? Sometimes troubleshooting why ONE system isn't getting say, the Tivoli backup client pushed to it via SMS can be 3 hours right there.
