I also know that many here are in the same situation as I am. I am a poor little admin and just don’t have the funds in my budget to by the high dollar packages that are out there. The only thing that I would ask of those that reply is this, please refer to open source or freeware as much as possible. The reason I ask this question is that I have seen links posted all over the Spiceworks community to what some of the software others are using but I have never seen it compiled to make it easier for other administrators to find. What are the some of your top software/tools, that you as an administrator, use to manage your networks and how has it made your job easier?

Basically if it has a chip in it, or is software, it falls under my responsibilities to research, purchase, lockdown, support and maintain. I never realized how stupid I was until I started doing this full time.Īt the current time I manage a MS 2003 network of about 200 users,10 servers and 1 mainframein 11 different locations. I have only been doing it for 3 years so I rely heavily on others who have more knowledge and experience than I have. Spiceworks has defiantly made my life easier and I appreciate the hard work that everyone has put into this product and the community. Let me start off by saying thanks to the spiceworks group and to those in the community. Hello fellow overworked, underpaid, over stressed and under appreciated IT folks.
