- Server Administration: Configure, maintain, and troubleshoot physical and virtual Windows Server environments.
- Virtualization: Support our local virtualization platform (VMware/ESXi), managing host resources and VM lifecycle.
- Automation: Utilize PowerShell to automate repetitive tasks, such as bulk user management, AD reporting, and system health checks.
- Security & Patching: Execute routine security patching, manage hardware firmware updates, and enforce internal security policies through centralized management tools.
- Infrastructure Support: Assist in maintaining physical server hardware, racks, and cable management within our data center.
- Documentation: Maintain rigorous documentation of AD structure, GPO mapping, DNS configuration, and standard operating procedures.
Qualifications & Experience
- Active Directory & GPO: Solid understanding of Active Directory architecture, including site-to-site replication, FSMO roles, and the ability to author and troubleshoot Group Policy Objects.

- Windows Server: Proficiency in configuring and managing modern Windows Server operating systems.
- Scripting: Demonstrated experience or a strong desire to master PowerShell for automation and administrative task efficiency.
- Virtualization: Exposure to virtualization technologies (VMware or ESXi) is highly preferred.
- Education/Experience: Prior internship or hands-on experience in IT support or system administration is preferred.
- Soft Skills: Analytical problem-solving abilities, high attention to detail, and a proactive, "security-first" mindset.
