Summary
Inevitably a network breaks. This chapter discusses the tools and techniques that are used to recover from network problems, and the planning and monitoring that can help avoid them. The solution to a problem is sometimes obvious if you can just gain enough information to know exactly what the problem is. Windows NT provides several built-in software tools that can help you gather information about system configuration, addressing, routing, name service, and other vital network components. Gather your tools and learn how to use them before a problem occurs.
In the next chapter we talk about another task that is important to the maintenance of a reliable network. In Chapter 12 we look at ways to keep your network secure.
