Meanest Mama In The World By definition, the System Administrator is responsible for making sure that all of the computers work right. When the computer won’t print to the laser, who are they going to call? The Administrator. When the work is done and the data should be backed up, who’s going to do it? The Administrator. That’s you! You worked very hard to set the system up. Wouldn’t it be great if it stayed that way? The best way to insure that things stay put is to limit the rights on the system. These are not home PCs. These are workstations. Think about it: there may be years of data on the hard drives. Should that be at risk because someone wanted to add an ill-behaved game or screen saver? Business computers need security The older versions of Microsoft Windows (say, Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows ME) did not very good security. Today, if you are running a business you need a business operating system. Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Vista are robust, secure operating systems that can protect your data. Security begins with the user.
