Diagnostic methods that are used to troubleshoot wired 802.3 networks should also be applied when troubleshooting a wireless local area network (WLAN). A bottoms-up approach to analyzing the OSI reference model layers also applies to wireless networking. A wireless networking administrator should always try to first determine whether problems exist at layer 1 and layer 2. As with most networking technologies, most problems usually exist at the Physical layer. Simple layer 1 problems such as nonpowered access points or client card driver problems are often the root cause of connectivity or performance issues. Because WLANs use radio frequencies to deliver data, troubleshooting a WLAN offers many unique layer 1 challenges not found in a typical wired environment. The bulk of this chapter discusses the numerous potential problems...

...Creating and Configuring Robert Collazo Jr. Rasmussen College Creating and Configuring Describe which factors must be considered when planning and designing a system image? The factors that need to be considered when planning and designing an image are what you are going to be what the image is going to be used for. For instance if was working in an office setting where everyone uses the same software and is on a network. There are many ways to design and deploy an image one is called DISM which means, Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool replaces the pkgmgr, PEImg, and IntlConfg tools that are being retired in Windows 7. DISM provides a single centralized tool for performing all of the functions of these three tools in a more efficient and standardized way, eliminating the source of many of the frustrations experienced by current users of these tools. Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) is a command-line tool used to service Windows images offline before deployment. You can use it to install, uninstall, configure, and update Windows features, packages, drivers, and international settings. Subsets of the DISM servicing commands are also available for servicing a running operating system. Next we have Windows SIM Windows System Image Manager creates and manages unattended Windows Setup answer files in a graphical user interface.

...Disseminating Organizational IT Security and Troubleshooting Best Practices Patrick Peck CIS329: Administering Desktop Clients Professor Cynthia Orth Strayer University 17 March 2013 Disseminating Organizational IT Security and Troubleshooting Best Practices The organization being analyzed here is a video store that works within a semi-commercial area of a metropolitan city. The video store aims to enhance its overall IT infrastructure and increase security of the videos/hardware/software through the implementation of useful IT infrastructures. The problem, thus, is that there is no real information technology security measure employed in the video shop in terms of user authentication and similar processes. There is very little awareness of the necessary IT security measures amongst the current management heads which is why they need an effective IT security plan and structure to implement to ensure there is no copyright infringement and stealing from their shop. The problem of having no IT infrastructure within the video store is that it directly affects all products and videos that are at the disposal of the customers online as well as on-site. The guidelines associated to the informational security strategy should incorporate contingency actions which will facilitate the video shop to endure any discrepancy or calamity and tackle it audaciously. Actions like incorporating data storage and extraction with the use of data-warehousing and data-mining techniques...
