Many IT professionals have long considered the practice of troubleshooting to be more of an art than a science. However, with the right methodology, anyone can systematically analyze and repair problems affecting an individual computer or an entire network. All it requires is an understanding of the technologies involved, knowledge of the available tools, and insight into the most common system and application issues.
Troubleshooting Microsoft Technologies is the first complete guide to troubleshooting the vast interrelationships of Microsoft network technologies. This book begins by introducing readers to the fundamentals of networks and troubleshooting. After documenting the available Microsoft troubleshooting tools, the author then attacks technology-specific problems chapter by chapter. A concise technical introduction at the outset of each chapter quickly brings readers up to speed on the technologies involved.
Key topics covered include:
- Client-server issues, including XP-related problems
- Office XP application and file faults
- Disk failures
- Domain Name Service (DNS), including client configuration, server configuration and replication, zone configuration, and Active Directory integration
- Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS), including server and database configuration and database replication
- Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), including DHCP clients and servers and relay agents
- Network and application services such as RIS, print services, terminal services, and DFS
- Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS), including Network Address Translation (NAT), Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), and Remote Access Servers (RAS)
- Active Directory (AD), including group policies, domains, trusts, replication, service integration, and security
In short, Troubleshooting Microsoft Technologies is the ultimate ready reference for solving problems on Microsoft networks.

Customer Reviews & Comments
This book is plain Awesome. As an IT Pro with over 10 years experience supporting Microsoft Technology, Networks, and teaching classes, I find myself wishing that I had this book when I was starting out, and developing lesson plans. It covers every aspect of troubleshooting, reviews many tools and their useage from both MSFT and some third parties. What it didn't include, but will most likly have in future releases is the following. Networking Tools the new MSFT NetBIOS / Browsing troubleshooting tool isn't covered because it is new. No SQL coverage. More and More admins are supporting MSDE or SQL 2K lite technology, I think he should include a chapter about that. No IIS coverage. More and More admins and helpdesks are gonna need skills troubleshooting IIS technologies. Look for a book from Brett Hill coming out soon. No Exchange or SMTP coverage. The reason many people setup Microsot Networks in the first place is do provide groupware. No Clustering Information. This guy works for Comm Vault. You would think he would cover clustering technology and troubleshooting. Now for the Raves! 1. Great Tools review. 2. Great Os TS tips 3. Great Office TS Tips. 4. Great Network and Net service TS tips (DNS,WINS,DHCP,RRAS) 5. Great section on AD, and GPO's 6. Current, Covers Windows 2003 and XP. BUY IT NOW!
