KEY RESPONSIBILITIES: Windows Server and Infrastructure

• Administer, monitor, patch, upgrade, troubleshoot, and lifecycle-manage physical and virtual Windows Server systems, including domain controllers and Windows-based application servers.
• Monitor availability, performance, capacity, services, scheduled tasks, event logs, and system health; investigate outages and recurring issues and coordinate maintenance windows and service-impact communications.
• Support DNS, DHCP, file and print services, NTFS and share permissions, certificates, service accounts, scheduled tasks, and other core Windows infrastructure services.

Active Directory and Access Management

• Administer Active Directory users, computers, groups, organizational units, service accounts, domain controllers, and Group Policy Objects.
• Troubleshoot authentication, account lockouts, permissions, replication, DNS, time synchronization, domain trust, and Group Policy processing issues.
• Apply least-privilege and role-based access practices; review inactive, privileged, expired, and service accounts and maintain appropriate group-based access.
• Test and deploy approved Group Policy and centralized configuration changes, documenting scope, results, and rollback requirements.

Security, CMMC and Compliance

• Implement and maintain assigned CMMC and NIST SP 800-171 controls for access, authentication, audit logging, configuration management, system hardening, patching, and account management.

Vulnerability Report Review and Remediation Planning

• Review existing vulnerability reports supplied by authorized internal or external sources; identify affected servers, operating systems, applications, services, and infrastructure components.
• Determine whether findings apply to the environment and identify duplicates, false positives, previously remediated items, or findings mitigated by existing controls.
• Research vendor advisories, patch guidance, release notes, upgrades, configuration changes, and other corrective options; evaluate compatibility, downtime, dependencies, testing, and rollback requirements.
• Prioritize findings with the IT Manager and relevant system owners based on severity, exploitability, exposure, system criticality, business impact, compliance requirements, and available mitigations.
