The Network Administrator Survival Kit (NAS Kit) was conceived many years ago when I was a network administrator. It contained information such as troubleshooting procedures, tricks and tips. It was written in HTML and sits on a network share. My colleagues access it via a browser and only two of us who knew HTML was able to modify it.
It was so useful because the information was specific to our organisation. No more re-inventing the wheel. The first thing we would do if we can't figure out the solution is to check out the NAS Kit. If we can't find the solution there, we would obviously research until we are able to resolve the issue. The next entry in the NAS Kit would be the steps that we have just used.
Over the years, I have also found it so useful that there are so many sites across the web that are providing information that have helped me so often in my job.
So now, here's a chance for me to pay it back.
With 24 years of experience in IT ranging from desktop support, network administration, to IT Infrastructure Manager, I have decided to setup this Network Administrator Survival Kit blog site.
Obviously it will not contain the information in the original NAS Kit, but I will build it up one blog at a time. It will be based on real technical issues ranging from desktop support, server administration, virtualisation, scripting, and Amazon Web Services.
Yes, I had wore many hats, and have had to learn snippets of different technologies and scripting languages, and programming languages to solve many different problems at a given point in time.
Perhaps this was due to the fact that most of my working life, I have been working for small companies with small IT teams. In some companies, I was the only IT person. These small environments in-still in you the need to do more with less, and improvisation became the norm.
Anyway, enough about myself. Enjoy this site, and I hope you get something out of my posts.
