Establish a plan of action 5. Implement a solution or escalate 6. Verify functionality 7. Perform Root Cause Analysis 8. Document the solution |
| List three sources from which to obtain information when identifying a network problem | • the user experiencing the problem • the computer in the form of logs and error messages • personal observation |
| How are probable causes prioritized? | From most likely to least likely. |
| How should a plan of action be written to determine the best course of action? | Step by Step |

| What is the logical process for identifying “root causes” of problems or events and an approach for responding to them? | Root Cause Analysis |
| Which troubleshooting methodology step captures a history of equipment and users so that perpetual issues become known and recorded? | Document the solution |
