Summary

Logging and debugging tools help administrators monitor, manage, and problem-solve errors on the network. Many of the tools used to identify network problems in a Windows Server 2003 environment have been improved from previous versions of the applications in earlier releases of the Windows operating system. Key to problem solving is enabling logging and monitoring the logs to identify errors, research the errors, and perform system recovery based on problem resolution.

In addition to the tools and utilities that come with the Windows Server 2003 environment are resources such as the Microsoft TechNet database (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/). Between utility and tool improvements as well as online technical research databases, problem solving can be simplified in a Windows Server 2003 networking environment.
