I was talking with Daniel Nerenberg yesterday at Techdays in Ottawa. He had been given the administrator's password a while ago since Rodney has been too busy working for Microsoft. He has some interesting thoughts on what to do with The Lazy Admin.

Being a lazy admin means following best practices and using the tools available to be proactive about maintenance. SMS 2003, MOM 2005, WSUS and the slew of Microsoft best practices analyzers can help by automating updates and application deployments as well as monitoring servers and services. This enables you to find and fix small problems before they pile up into larger issues. Proper planning, implementation and proactive maintenance will maximize system availability and minimize the occurrence of issues, allowing you to put your feet up on the desk, relax, and be a lazy admin!

The site is full of information. Lots and lots of information. It's a great place to have discussions about anything administrative. Or about anything lazy for that matter. I am a lazy admin! And I will be loitering on the site.
