The company I used to work for out of davenport consultants ranged from $110 to >$200, depending on the experience you were looking for. All consultants from bottom to top were pretty well versed in Windows Server operating systems and Active Directory. I do suggest going with a larger consulting firm as they tend to work with larger companies and are able to handle more complex networks. You may get cheaper rates with small shops, but larger firms are able to reach out to resources within their company who most likely have seen just about any issue that might come up. Let me know if you want more info, I can give you the name of the firm I worked for and some of their competitors.

Around here a geek doing it as a side job will run about $35-50/hr, but most professional consultants will run in the $75-150/hr range. -TS -----Original Message----- From: tech-geeks-boun...@tech-geeks.org [mailto:tech-geeks-boun...@tech-geeks.org] On Behalf Of Dana Fellows Sent: Tuesday, September 21, 2010 5:12 PM To: 'Tech-Geeks Mailing List' Subject: [tech-geeks] Consultant Pay Geeks, I'm trying to figure out what the average and range of pay organizations (schools) pay consultants. I'm asked a few local schools and depending on the service, I get a range from about $40 to $90 per hour. I'm looking at perhaps someone who may be asked to come in and configure a Windows 2008 server with Active Directory, and skills like that. You can email me off list if you want, I will not share the info if you don't want me too.
