Chapter 31 -- Optimizing, Maintaining, and Troubleshooting

[Previous] [Next]

Chapter 31

This chapter takes up three interrelated topics: how to get your system running as well as it can, how to perform routine maintenance on your system so that it always hums along happily, and what to do when things go awry. Microsoft Windows 2000 provides tools to help you keep your system in good order. If you have adequate hardware to begin with and you use these maintenance tools regularly, the odds are good that you'll never have serious problems. In case you do run into trouble, however, Windows 2000 also provides direct links to Microsoft's Internet-based support services, as well as improved diagnostic information to assist support personnel.
