Lesson 5: Planning Notification Methods Identifying Business Requirements Suitable Notification Methods Establishing an Escalation Path

Identifying Business Requirements Economic cost of service failure Service-level agreement response times Staff availability

Notify support staff by using: Pager SMS text message Telephone Scripted notification Pager SMS text message Telephone Scripted notification Suitable Notification Methods

Establishing an Escalation Path RolePurpose Audit trail Identify people Traceable history Maintained for an agreed amount of time Time to escalation How much time should pass before escalation to a higher level? Can issues progress to a higher level immediately? Allocation to group or individual Who receives an issue first? How are issues allocated? Levels of escalation In-house External

Lesson 6: Overview of Windows Server 2008 Management Tasks Windows Server 2008 Maintenance Tasks Common Tasks for Different Server Roles Frequency of Management Tasks
