A company I use to work for just found out their network admin is quitting next week and they want me to sit in on a conference call with the outgoing admin and the general manager.

They want a checklist of things to go over.

Any ideas?

I've got a list I'm working on but anyone want to chime in I'm all ears.

When I left there I made sure they have full documentation of everything but its been 3 years and big changes. I doubt the documentation has been maintained.

 

That's kind hard when we dont know the position and what systems/software/etc you have.

Get Passwords?

 

Yea I guess you are right...

I've got stuff like

full list of passwords
vendor contacts and logins
maintannace agreements with who and whats to expire
remote access options...what is enabled and who has it
exchange server policies and domain policies - enabled and how is it enforced
backup schedule, tapes, offsite, etc.


still building it....

 

Ask if he has any back-doors you should know about. Hehe.
Speaking of which, It's been two months, I should see if my back door is still open.... hehe

 

I love that crap...I started here a few years back after the IT guy got mad and quit.

I walk in and they say you have to secure the network 100%.

I unplugged the T1 and told them to change the locks. They said "you cant do that" my response "Well than don't expect me to provide 100% security. With no passwords, documentation or help from the predecessor I can't tell you how many ways this guy could get in. At least quickly"

 

Looks like I can still go in to their Email admin page and jack up accounts.
I'm willing to bet the security system still has the same password for the building.
And I can't try it right now; but I'm certain I can access Remote Desktop.

Fortunately for them; I have no thoughts of rebel-rousing.
