What are the two golden rules that should guide you during any troubleshooting process? Describe each rule.

What will be an ideal response?


Prioritize problems-If you need to solve multiple, prioritize the problems according to severity and spend the most time on the most severe problem. Becoming fixated on a small problem and ignoring larger issues results in much lower productivity. If a problem is too difficult to solve in a given period of time, it is good practice to ask for help.

Try to solve the root of the problem-Some solutions might appear successful in the short term, yet fail over the long term because of an underlying problem. Effective troubleshooting requires good instincts, which in turn come from a solid knowledge of the system hardware and configuration. To avoid missing the underlying cause of any problem, try to justify why a certain solution was successful. If it is unclear why a certain solution was successful, it is likely that you have missed an underlying cause of the problem that might need to be remedied in the future to prevent the same problem from recurring.
