For a rather large company, I was in charge of a couple of cities only (Seattle and Portland).
My responsibilities were:
1) Weekly maintenance of the servers: Backups, Viruses, Defragmentation, Cleaning, etc.
2) Wireless client setup: Basically anytime a new client or laptop was added I had to instruct the user how to use different profiles for the cisco wireless cards we handed out.
3) Router and Managed Switch Replacement/Maintenance: Anytime corporate instructed me to do something with them...I would....otherwise I wouldn't bother with them.
4) Interact with Corporate when new Viruses enter the WAN (Worldwide)
5) Make sure images of all machines in LAN (Seattle only) were up to date.
6) Cable runs: New and Re-Runs... This happened from time to time because I'm a little
anal and the offices were a mess when I started.
7) General computer support for end-users in both offices: I tried to perform this as remote as possible simply because people ask too many questions when they are looking over your shoulder....and I can't help but chit-chat.
8) Constantly make PDFs on how to do certain things so that if an end-user emailed me with a question, I could easily reply with a link to the PDF I made instead of re-inventing the wheel.
9) Add to the weekly office meetings with updated input..etc.
10) Test equipment CONSTANTLY: You never know when your boss is going to ask you "Hey, what do you think about these External backup drives, or this Wireless Gateway for the office.....etc"
So, every week (almost), I would go to Fry's/Best Buy/etc and buy a lot of random equipment. Then after testing, make personal reviews on functionality/cooling/etc.
I didn't "have" to do this, but due to deals we made for restocking fees, I had nothing to lose and did most of this in my free time (Most of this free time was while I was working on the clock
)
11) I never really tried hacking or breaking our network. It was pretty vast and in order to get in you would've needed to start across the country and find your way to our office. They had several firewalls, etc and I wasn't too worried about it considering the corporate office's IT staff. But, I did hack/break/stress test our own wireless network. I managed to break it once but it took me about 34 hours to do it. No one in their right mind would've tried that for access to financial spreadsheets and random memos. Even if they would have, I setup our wireless gateway to disconnect everyone from the network every 24 hours. (Unless someone told me that they would've been connected for an extended period of time). This would essentially break or start any brute attack over in it's tracks unless they coupled their log files within the next attack.
12) Make sure that I emailed the local office "Boss" every few days to update him with my jobs/statuses/etc to ensure satisfaction....and to let him know that I was actually working.
