Discuss the startup process.
The basic Input/Output System (BIOS) is a program that controls the functionality of the server hardware components. The boot sector is the sector on the server’s disk containing the information to boot your server. The bootloader is a program that loads the OS kernel into RAM. The bootloader is located in MBR. There are 2 types of bootloaders in Windows OSes NTLDR and BOOTMGR. MBR is also created when disk partitions are made; however, MBR resides outside diskpartitions. Multiboot: every time you turn on your computer, you notice a boot menu that lists multiple OSes. Boot Configuration Data (BCD) represents a store consisting of a specific file that enables control of what should happen when the OS boots. POST is a diagnostic test that verifies that the server hardware is working correctly. Finally, safe mode is a Windows diagnostic mode that uses a minimal set of drivers and services.
Discuss the troubleshooting process.
Among the dozens of available methodologies, a six-step troubleshooting model known as the detection method is used by Microsoft Product Support Services engineers. The steps are:
Discover the problem,
Evaluate system configuration,
List or track possible solutions,
Execute a plan,
Check results,
And take a proactive approach.
Discuss Event Viewer filtering and central logging.
The Event Viewer generates a enormous number of logs; hence, event filtering is used to find the correct information to help overcome issues. Setting the wrong criteria will result in filtered results that will not help find the accurate information to overcome the issues. The problem with event logs is that they consume storage space. Hence, changing the default logs’ locations helps to overcome the lack of storage space for storing logs. That enables writing event messages to any log files due to a lack of storage space.
