Sully Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 For you guys that work in IT, what do you use to keep a log of your servers, their IP addresses, logins, etc.? My boss never wrote anything down when he configured our network and servers. I want to get things a bit more organized. I also want to use something that is secure. What do you suggest?

dragknee66 Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 So your a desktop support person that will have access to every admin user ID and password for your company? Sounds like a job for a high level network admin to me and much less for you to worry about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sully Posted March 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Heh, my title is Desktop Support, however, I know all the network admin id's, ip's, etc. I'm just looking for some sort of secure application or whatever to store the info in. I like being organized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jones Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Depends on whether or not it is for personal or intranet/other users. If you just want a personal database for url/un/pw type stuff there are a hundred options out there. Alot of us use keepass or pwsafe. Start googling yo.

unfunnyryan Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 a password protected spreadsheet is what I keep track of a lot of stuff in. Although I don't actually have a job in IT/Network, its what I'm looking forward to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pat Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Where I worked, the servers and their IP's were all kept in a spreadsheet on a drive that could only be accessed by Network Services personnel. As for the logins, it was one login for each user, that would be granted access to whatever it is they managed. None of those were me however, as I was a network guy not a server guy. Just a reminder, CCNA trained guy here with 1 year of real world experience and an Associates Degree, with a Bachelors coming in about 9 months. Looking for a job... help a brother out. I can't seem to find anything right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borrow a couple hundred bucks and make it happen. Throw it on a CC for now..more than worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My boss never wrote anything down when he configured our network and servers. I want to get things a bit more organized. I also want to use something that is secure. What do you suggest? You seem to have a few different questions. Keeping track of servers and IP's, can be done in a spread sheet. Or put them in DNS, then just remember stuff by name, and when you need to you can perform an NSLookup or DIG. Logins - I never store anywhere but in my head, but if it is logins to Netowkring gear use TACACS or Radius. Network Config - Rancid, it is open source and has different levels of logging. You can also run Diff's with it, to see config changes from day to day. Hope that helps some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are familiar with BGP, RIP, OSPF, and DOCSIS I could at the least get you an interview for a spot in Lima. You would just have to re-locate there, and drive all over NW Ohio.

It actually cost more it was for a year of unlimited access to mentors/teachers, books, and practice test. Plus I had to pay for each certification but it was at a discounted price. It was a technical school for lack of a better word... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will retract all of the below, if you tell me you took the IE and passed it, however I have $5000 that says that is not the case. 1. Use online resources to acquire E-Books/CBT Nuggets/Guides Ect. 2. Test 3. Pass 4. Profit ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
