Course Description

Troubleshooting skills are something that everyone from the server or network administrator to the everyday user should possess. Administrators, though, need to be able to thoroughly troubleshoot not only desktop computers, their hardware and operating systems, but also more complex and intricate issues that occur on sophisticated server hardware and network infrastructures. This course introduces software, storage, network, and security troubleshooting. You'll learn about some of the common issues that can occur along with their fixes and some of the useful tools that can be employed in the troubleshooting process. This course is one of a series in the Skillsoft learning path that maps to CompTIA's Server+ exam, SK0-004, and covers the following exam objectives: 7.3 Given a scenario, effectively troubleshoot software problems, selecting the appropriate tools and methods, 7.4 Given a scenario, effectively diagnose network problems, selecting the appropriate tools and methods, 7.5 Given a scenario, effectively troubleshoot storage problems, selecting the appropriate tools and methods, and 7.6 Given a scenario, effectively diagnose security issues, selecting the appropriate tools and methods.
