Summary
Nine maintenance tasks keep an IT environment cleaner, safer, and more efficient. Most of them get skipped until something breaks. The physical work covers clearing dust from vents and fans, untangling cables, and checking for bulging batteries or frayed cords. The digital work covers reviewing patch compliance, purging stale Active Directory and SaaS accounts, right-sizing VMs, and testing backup restores. Proactive maintenance now, including getting ahead of the Windows 10 end of life, saves hours of reactive crisis work later.
