For me, a systems engineer should be a person who has mastery in the following skills:
1) mastery in windows 2000, windows 9x, internet explorer, IIS, outlook client, clustering, exchange, terminal services
2) network security-- possess the skill to be a network de-
fender and network intruder
3) has intermediate knowledge of novell netware because they
are still in business
4) knowledge of unix because those As/400 and rs/6000's seems to be always there running aix
5) mastery of old dos because the command line
troubleshooting is always something like this
6) mastery of another language like VB so you can program
microsoft operating systems
7)mastery of cisco routers so you can connect your lans and
your company's different buildings
8) some knowledge of MS office because user's always ask
something about Word or Excel when you are under
the table . And if
you can't answer, they think you don't know anything.
9) mastery of A+ so you can build and troubleshoot your
multiprocessor servers. Includes the skills needed
for disaster recovery like broken hard drives,
motherboards, power supplies, printers,cd-roms
that reads only things it wants to read
The ability to answer the Tek-tip boards for these subjects
can be your performance monitor.
Just my 2 cent opinion adjusted after inflation.
