Creation of a Content DB and maintaining it. It involves maintenance of various logging databases in SQL Server. Compressing of logging Databases is also done by SharePoint admins since they grow in size considerably. 4. Assignment of proper permission levels for all users of the site as well as configuring anonymous access if required . 5. Configuring timer jobs depending on business requirements. Timer jobs are very important in SharePoint. One of the timer job is to backup the sites everyday.

Clients usually prefer a person who can configure the whole system using powershell since it's much faster than UI. In one of my projects, the whole farm configuration was based on a powershell script which almost took 4550 minutes to execute. It would have taken hours if the same thing was done using UI. 7.
