Confidential,Warren, NJ
Dec 06 – May 09 Senior Network/System Administrator

• Performed Active Directory migration from legacy SBINET domain to ENTERPULSE domain. This was required after the merger of two companies.
• Merging the two domains required designing a common Active Directory hierarchy. As well as testing and monitoring the all FSMO roles for proper function.
• Monitoring and testing of the new Active Directory hierarchy was done using NTDS util.
• Specific tasks included migration of all Active Directory user account. All computer workstations and laptops were also migrated to the new domain.
• Upon completion the entire Active Directory Schema for both SBINET and ENTERPULSE domains were migrated to a common domain.
• Most recently put together a project to decommission the old Check Point firewall and install and configure a replacement PIX ASA.
• Create, configure and manage Virtual Servers for various development environments.
• Build and configure Interwoven servers consisting of WorkSite servers and TeamSite servers.
• Additional responsibilities for Interwoven suite consisted of Daily Backups as well as creating user accounts
• The accounts created were used for administrating Worksite work spaces along with creating proper accounts for TeamSite work flows based on architectural designs.
• Accomplishing this task included building a migration environment, which included a migration server as well as a Windows SQL server.
• In performing the migration scripts were also written to query LDAP and the Exchange server. This was done using WMI, ADSI, VB Script and some Powershell.
• All production and development servers were migrated to the new domain using the migration environment.
• In addition a plan was put in place to migrate all email from both domains to a new common Microsoft Exchange Server. This involved building the new server and defining the process to migrate all users from two separate Exchange Servers to one common Exchange server.
• Responsible for coordinating and documenting all implementation steps for production releases.

May 99- Aug 06

• Managed various projects including the redesign of Enterpulse\'s company infrastructure by implementing the latest Blade Server and NAS technologies. As a result fewer servers (originally 150+ servers) were required for daily office operations to perform the same functions, which lowered maintenance costs and the number of software licenses that needed to be purchased which in turn had a positive affect in the overall P & L. Primary infrastructure is comprised of HP, Dell and Cisco equipment.
• All internal projects were lead by me with the help of internal staff that also reported to me as the project required.
• Senior network management responsibilities which include building, configuring and maintaining all production servers and client project servers. On a daily basis they are monitored, maintained and backed up, as well as using trouble shooting techniques to ensure reliability. This also included detailing status to senior management in addition to notifying all users of up coming outages for implementing upgrades as well as repair.
• To help automate some of my daily tasks scripting was also used. Primarily this included WMI Script as well as ADSI and VBScripting. This allowed me to monitor file servers and also produce reports that showed how email file size was impacting the exchange server.
• In addition to the New Jersey office, I was also responsible for over seeing our Dallas office. This was accomplished through a part time administrator that reported to me.
• Responsible for the eastern region Exchange servers including analysis of user configuration problems as well as daily activities of adding and deleting of users. Monitoring system log files and maintaining system stability.
• Responsible for all documentation relating to server configuration and implementation.
• Configure and support Cisco 6000/3500 series switches, 2900/2800/2600 series routers as well as ASA 5505 security appliance.
• Other security appliances administered were Checkpoint firewalls.
• Using MS Project to map deliverables and establish critical paths, the new Blade and NAS server environment was constructed using Windows 2003 which provides all Active Directory, DHCP and DNS services.
• Designed and implemented daily backup procedures using Veritas Backup Exec and Computer Associates ARCserve, in accordance with industry standard practices. As an additional measure of redundancy DFS was also implemented. This was accomplished using Microsoft DFS and third party software named NSI Double-Take to keep all NAS servers in sync.
• Responsible for maintaining InterTel PBX phone system including daily activities for up time and vendor relationship.
• Establish procedures and practices for documenting daily infrastructure activities including network changes and asset inventories. This was accomplished through the use of third party software such as LANDesk and internally written databases, resulting in a savings of time and rework that did not need to be done.
