The Dark Dusty Corner

Welcome to my useless corner... unfortunately there are so many things I would love to rant about right now but I really am not allowed to at this time so instead I will start off with my rant on a very generic subject. As a good admin you should understand that your work is not above reproach. Understand that you could make a mistake in configuration, if you do not have build guides you should always have someone peer review your work. Plus you should have a check off list to make sure machine builds are in compliance with corporate build polices. Or use offline build networks and make sure you monitor the file integrity of any build images. finally please use common sense and run an network audit as well against the box before just deploying it into production. Although this might seem like common sense, I see it ignored time and time again. Please feel free to suggest other innovative ways you use to deploy tested and secure systems.
