Best Practices for a Stable MS System Culture
It is a Server Carefully Dedicated Function Combine functions in tested configurations only Control Changes (Change Management) Journaling Testing
Best Practices for a Stable MS System Hardware
Use Server Class Hardware Physical Security Redundancy
RAID Processors Network Card / Switches UPS / Power Supplies Redundant Servers / Clustering
Best Practices for a Stable MS System OS
Fresh Installs, not OEM Installs or Existing OS’s OS Standards Patches
Hotfixes Critical Updates Security Updates Service Packs
Standard Software Virus Protection Security
User level Physical Patches
Best Practices for a Stable MS System Recovery
System Diagrams and Inventory Warranty Active and Adequate Backups Running and TESTED Recovery Plan
Network Outage Hardware Failure Full Rebuild Times
Contact Lists Automated Monitoring Engineering Assessment
