Watch Network Trouble Spots

The best way to shoot network trouble and other types of system problems is to stop them before they ever happen. The only way to prevent problems and keep your network running is to study your network environment closely and carefully and figure out where its weak points are. Do this before your network demonstrates its weaknesses to the world at large by breaking.

If you keep an eye on potential trouble spots and perform regular maintenance and upkeep activities (such as scheduled backups , file system cleanups, upgrades, service packs , and hotfixes), you can prevent problems. And believe us, preventing problems isn't just less work, it's also the cause of far less unwanted notoriety than fixing things after they break. Don't feel compelled to learn this the hard way!
