Operating System Overview According to GCF LearnFree.org, an Operating System (OS) “manages the computer's memory, processes, and all of its software and hardware. It also allows you to communicate with the computer without knowing how to speak the computer's language. Without an operating system, a computer is useless” (GCF LearnFree.org, 2015). Operating Systems (OS) allow the user to interface with the computer and make use of the many productivity tools available. The computer OS also manages and controls auxiliary equipment such as input/output devices (mouse/keyboard/monitors), and printers. Each of these allows the user to interact and communicate with the computer. Components and Functions Without an OS, a computer is a mix of hardware and applications...

...monitoring differs from the monitoring of Windows based computers. This research paper is not to compare the two systems but to gain an understanding of how UNIX monitors performance. I don’t have any personal experience with working with UNIX systems, but as always eager to gain insight of different operating systems. The first thing I would like to discover is some of the common performance problems encountered caused by software, hardware and the combination of the two, the different terminologies associated with the processes via hardware or software, and finally what different utilities are used for monitoring these problems. We all know that UNIX has been around since the early 1970’s and the developments of performance tools have been around for a long time to enable system administrators in tuning systems for optimal performance. Operating systems performance problems normally involves process management, memory management, and scheduling. The object of performance on UNIX based systems is to determine the amount of time the operating system spends during scheduling and the amount of time for applications to run (Unknown, 2003). Windows based systems establish an appropriate ration between time in application mode and time in system mode (Unknown, 2003). I will get more into UNIX based systems and how these monitoring tools are used to keep our UNIX based system running at optimal performance. First we must understand that performance monitoring...

...Collaborative Troubleshooting Operating Systems Introduction Working in technical support role within an IT department of a major organization requires someone with knowledge of various operating systems and ability to troubleshoot the problem methodically. A good technician can use his knowledge to accurately diagnose, pinpoint the problem, and solve the issue. Scenario 1 You have recently started in a new technical support role within the IT department of a major manufacturing organization. Your first support call is from a client who is using Windows ME® and has encountered stability problems. Discuss the process you would undertake to identify his or her problem and the operating system’s tools that you would use to do so. In order to determine the cause of the instability you may need to probe the client and ask questions to help pinpoint the problem. Did the user receive any error messages? Is the computer just generally running slowly? Did the client recently install additional software or hardware? If the client is unable to help answer questions then a process of troubleshooting steps may need to be taken to solve the instability issue. Start with the booting up the computer and checking for any error messages during Power-On Self-Test or POST and that maybe BIOS related. Sometimes BIOS can let you know that a piece of hardware isn’t being detected properly. You may need to enable a device or setting which can be fixed in the BIOS setup. Check your...

...Final Assignment Maintenance and training manual John Kroll IT282 1-22-2012 Final Assignment Maintenance and training manual Overview of Operating Systems There are several versions of windows that I have used in my life since becoming infatuated with computers at an early age. My first memory of using a computer and was when bought a computer from the local Montgomery Ward’s company in the early 90s, it was the brand name Wang and came state of the art with windows 3.1 and a 28.8 KB/sec dial up modem. I was in grade school maybe middle school using windows 3.1 and familiarizing myself with the program manger and the different ways to do things from clicking on the icons to running programs from ms dos prompt. This was my first computer and loved every bit of it. I remember when my mom brought it home from the store I took my time and connected everything the way it said in the manual. This was my first steps towards an eventual career in the IT field. We owned that computer for a few years and eventually upgraded. The next computer I owned in my life was a little newer Compaq it had the new and improved version of windows. Windows 95 opened the doors towards innovation and a new and improved windows experience. With the new features included in Windows 95 it was a breakthrough and an innovation towards the way modern windows versions are used today. With the advent of the start menu and the new way to use your computer with a customizable desktop and an adaptable...
