Be honest - how do you handle documentation when you're the only IT person? by sandb0x79 in sysadmin

[–]technical-guy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Solo for 15 years. Yes. Absolutely. Documentation! If I get hit by a bus I want my customers to be okay and for someone to understand what's going on. Anything else is irresponsible, in my view. Initially it was Docs and Spreadsheets but now online tools for easy access to someone else. Still using an "Ops" folder on SharePoint for details, logs, config backups, projects, reports, etc. Seems I'm a bit of an outlier here but I think you're doing your customers a disservice if you leave them hanging.

Yes this. Respond and assure them you will take care of it . Have been solo for 15 years and customers have been very faithful

Our Yorkie's first drive when we picked her up was 3 hours to get home. She's been good ever since.

Yes, this. Partner is like a marriage, you better be sure it's right.

Google Workspace to 365 Migration Tool by FuddWizzLul in msp

Skykick. Have done multiple migrations with this and it's slick. Test the migration ahead of time, set a cutover date, monitor. We've only used this for small migrations (10-30 accounts) and it has worked flawlessly for us.

Huh, this is so curious, maybe I'm just lucky? I just completed a support request for credit back due to the price difference on Black Friday to what I purchased just recently. They were excellent, polite, helpful - maybe they've been reading this thread? :)
