• Email Systems and Archiving :
• Lead end-to-end migration from legacy platforms to enterprise-grade email infrastructure; implement journaling, indexing, and on-prem archival mechanisms ensuring complete traceability and regulatory compliance.
• File Server and Data Security :
• Manage departmental file hierarchies, NTFS permissions, and FSRM policies for quotas, file screening, and automated archiving. Monitor activity logs (Event IDs 4663, 4660, 4728, 4732) for full auditability.
• Network and Firewall Management :
• Configure and maintain VLANs, switches, trunk ports, and firewalls. Enforce web and application filtering policies through Sophos or equivalent systems to maintain a secure internal network.

• Submit daily reports on server utilization, CPU / RAM load, access logs, and security audits to management. Maintain documentation for all infrastructure changes and ensure data backups are verified and restorable.
