Es ist mal wieder soweit :).

Auf den Schultern der Administratoren lastet sehr viel Verantwortung, die wir wie jeden letzten Freitag im Juli mit dem System Administrator Appreciation Day würdigen. Dankbare Nutzer sollten allerdings von eher konventionellen Geschenken wie Socken, Oberhemden, Schlipsen oder gar einem Blumenstrauß Abstand nehmen: Deutlich mehr Dankbarkeit ernten sie mit Technik-Spielzeug neuster Bauart wie es sich beispielsweise bei ThinkGeek findet. Nahrungsmittel-Präsente sollten Koffein enthalten oder einen hohen Zuckeranteil haben. Eine spontane Büro-Party gilt als genehm, aber nicht zwingend erforderlich.
Wie bereits in den Vorjahren lädt auch Microsoft wieder Administratoren am SysAdmin-Day nach München ein. Das Programm der Nachmittagsveranstaltung reicht von Expertengesprächen und Kurzvorträgen über Themen wie Active Directory, Power Shell, Windows Server 2008 und Windows 7 bis hin zu einem Gewinnspiel und dem Zocken auf dem Kicker oder der XBox.
Trotz der kolossalen Verantwortung und ihrer außergewöhnlichen Fähigkeit, selbst dann nicht den Kopf zu verlieren, wenn hunderte Kollegen wegen ausgefallener Server vor der Tür stehen, zeigen die Lesergeschichten zu unserem Aufruf Wenn sich der Admin in den Fuß schießt ..., dass Administratoren auch nur Menschen sind: Eine Auswahl der zahlreichen Einsendungen haben wir im Artikel zusammengefasst.

10th Annual - System Administrator Appreciation Day
A sysadmin unpacked the server for this website from its box, installed an operating system, patched it for security, made sure the power and air conditioning was working in the server room, monitored it for stability, set up the software, and kept backups in case anything went wrong. All to serve this webpage.
A sysadmin installed the routers, laid the cables, configured the networks, set up the firewalls, and watched and guided the traffic for each hop of the network that runs over copper, fiber optic glass, and even the air itself to bring the Internet to your computer. All to make sure the webpage found its way from the server to your computer.
A sysadmin makes sure your network connection is safe, secure, open, and working. A sysadmin makes sure your computer is working in a healthy way on a healthy network. A sysadmin takes backups to guard against disaster both human and otherwise, holds the gates against security threats and crackers, and keeps the printers going no matter how many copies of the tax code someone from Accounting prints out.
A sysadmin worries about spam, viruses, spyware, but also power outages, fires and floods.
When the email server goes down at 2 AM on a Sunday, your sysadmin is paged, wakes up, and goes to work.
A sysadmin is a professional, who plans, worries, hacks, fixes, pushes, advocates, protects and creates good computer networks, to get you your data, to help you do work -- to bring the potential of computing ever closer to reality.
So if you can read this, thank your sysadmin -- and know he or she is only one of dozens or possibly hundreds whose work brings you the email from your aunt on the West Coast, the instant message from your son at college, the free phone call from the friend in Australia, and this webpage.
Show your appreciation
Friday, July 31, 2009, is the 10th annual System Administrator Appreciation Day. On this special international day, give your System Administrator something that shows that you truly appreciate their hard work and dedication. (All day Friday, 24 hours, your local timezone).
Let's face it, System Administrators get no respect 364 days a year. This is the day that all fellow System Administrators across the globe, will be showered with expensive sports cars and large piles of cash in appreciation of their diligent work. But seriously, we are asking for a nice token gift and some public acknowledgement. It's the least you could do.
Consider all the daunting tasks and long hours (weekends too.) Let's be honest, sometimes we don't know our System Administrators as well as they know us. Remember this is one day to recognize your System Administrator for their workplace contributions and to promote professional excellence. Thank them for all the things they do for you and your business.
