Hi guys. I would like to seek advise from all of you gurus here.<br />
<br />
When troubleshooting a problem regardless of AD, DNS, DHCP or other related problems.<br />
<br />
How do you ensure that when you change a setting here or there that it would not affect the entire business operation. E.g like AD replication, DNS changes. <br />
<br />
I am a fresh MCSE and I know that its an entire level when dealing with servers rather than client workstations.<br />
<br />
One wrong move and it could cripple the entire business operation.<br />
Questions that I would like to ask<br />
<br />
1. What methodology or ways do you prevent or rather minimise the impace of what you do to the server.<br />
2. Which impact the most? AD? DNS? <br />
3. What to take note off.<br />
4. and if it really happens, how do you rectify the problem ASAP.<br />
More advise possible if you could let me know more about it.<br />
Your advise is very important to me. <br />
Thanks

Troubleshooting a problem which might have diverse effects on the entire company

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).

Windows Server 2003

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.
