I do about 150 servers myself, and on occasion conscript someone else if I
am sick or on vacation.
The day to day stuff I do in about half a day. We have a few big servers
but mostly smallish ones,
and the only desktops are for systems support (testing, NOC, etc). To do it
'right', if I had
reporting automated, I could do it in 4 o 6 hours per day. Currently I take
to many shortcuts to
call it 'right' (I have other duties, too).
Speaking of sick, the weather is very nice today and half my group,
supervisor included, called in sick. ... hmmmm ;)
