Troubleshooting Process to explain how you would tackle problems

For your next project, you will apply the CompTIA 6-Step Troubleshooting Process to explain how you would tackle problems found at the following link: help desk tickets.

There are three groups of tickets, Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3. You will pick two tickets from each group. 

As you prepare to analyze and hopefully solve these typical IT help desk tickets, keep in mind that for this course, it is more about the process and less about finding the “correct” answer. You may not always find an exact answer from the information given. The problems are structured to approximate what you will find in the workplace. Use a logical and repeatable process (e.g., the CompTIA 6-Step Troubleshooting Process) and eliminate the improbable as you work your way through each scenario.

CompTIA 6-Step Troubleshooting Process:

1. Identify the problem. 

2. Establish a theory of probable cause.

3. Evaluate the theory to determine the actual cause. 

4. Establish a plan of action to resolve the problem and implement the solution. 

5. Verify full system functionality and if applicable implement preventative measures. 

6. Document findings, actions, and outcomes.
