Episode 120 — OS and Software Problems — Login Issues and Patch Failures
Description
This episode addresses troubleshooting operating system and application problems, including failed logins, service outages, and patch installation errors. We explain how authentication misconfigurations, expired credentials, or corrupted profiles can block user access, while incomplete or incompatible patches can destabilize services.
We connect these challenges to real-world and exam situations, such as diagnosing a failed login due to clock skew between servers or recovering from a service crash after a patch. Troubleshooting steps include checking event logs, restoring from backups, and rolling back problematic updates. By mastering these techniques, candidates can maintain system stability and quickly restore service functionality.
