Here is a sample email that you would receive:
Network Documentation Does your business have its network documented? If not, you could be in for some serious headaches. No matter who is managing your network/servers, they should always give you the following items: 1.) A Network Diagram - Basic detail is fine, but the more detailed the better 2.) A list of all pertinent information about your network/environment, such as server passwords, firewall passwords, IP Addresses, DNS vendor info, ISP vendor info, Serial numbers, service tags, remote access, usernames and passwords for employees, Email setup documentation, special setups/exceptions, phone numbers for all critical vendors, etc. If you do not have this information readily available, get it. If you have an emergency, it takes far less time to execute if you have all of your information handy. Let's say you don't have the password for your firewall, most likely, you will have to reset the device (wiping it out), and have to rebuild it from scratch, which can take anywhere from 2-8 hours. Having a network diagram is important, as it let's you understand how everything is connected, and allows you to easily pass this information to any vendor that might need that information. It's much better to gather this information beforehand, than having to scramble for it when you really need it most. |
