• Install, configure, and commission physical servers, workstations, network equipment, and associated eGate infrastructure.
• Install, configure, and maintain Windows Server and Windows Client operating systems in accordance with approved infrastructure standards.
• Perform server and workstation configuration, domain joining, user administration, service management, and routine system maintenance.
• Configure and troubleshoot DNS resolution, DNS records, DNS caching, static and dynamic DNS configurations, and name-resolution failures.
• Support approved DNS-based access-control and security policies, including understanding DNS filtering/blocking mechanisms.
• Configure, monitor, and troubleshoot site-to-site VPNs and remote-access/client VPN connectivity.

• Windows Server and Group Policy Administration: Proficiency in managing Windows Server environments and implementing Group Policies.
• Network and Firewall Configuration: Working knowledge of TCP/IP, IPv4 addressing (including subnetting, routing, switching, VLANs, gateways, private/public/loopback/link-local addressing, and APIPA), DNS, and FortiGate firewall fundamentals.
• VPN Administration: Experience with configuring and troubleshooting site-to-site and remote-access VPNs.
• VMware Virtualization: Practical knowledge of VMware ESXi and vSphere environments, including understanding Type 1 and Type 2 hypervisors and their operational use cases.
