With the emergence of new server OSes and hardwares, system administration has become quite a challenging task. Administrators these days are solely responsible for managing, maintenance, repairing, upgrading, and documenting desktop computer hardware and software in an interactive environment. The admin is the one who provides desktop support of all enterprise applications, performs weekly checklist of equipments and network settings, protects restricted information (including backups) and sets up and modifies the domain servers.

There are many training paths to become a system administrator including degree in a related field like IT, computer Science, Electronics Engineering and so on. However, in the year 1992, Rochester Institute of Technology started a degree in System Administration for the first time. Since then, other institutes like University of New Hampshire, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Marist College, etc also started providing the same lately. A professional who hails from IT background with strong organizational and logical skills is considered ideal for the post of a system administrator. However, one can go for few certification courses and enter the industry as a system admin.
