Cevap
The administrator should submit a formal Request for Change (RFC) to the Change Advisory Board (CAB) for authorization.
In standard IT change management, once a configuration change is planned and its operational risks are assessed, the next mandatory step is to submit a Request for Change (RFC) for review and approval by the Change Advisory Board (CAB). Implementation and maintenance window scheduling can only occur after CAB approval.
