{YTS} Troubleshooting Windows Installation For IT Change Control

Here’s a step-by-step guide to troubleshoot common issues during the Windows installation process and implement change control measures:

Pre-Installation Checks

Verify system requirements: Ensure that the target hardware meets the required specifications.

Run virus scans: Run antivirus software scans on the computer, network devices, and any shared storage devices.

Check for malware: Use an anti-malware tool to scan for malware before installation.

Installation Issues

Failed to start Windows: Check the event logs for error messages:

* Event ID 100: „Windows cannot find a valid boot configuration data source“ (install media or network issue)

* Event ID 1123: „The system cannot be initialized.“ (system files missing)

Installation failed: Inspect the installation log file (C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\assembly.xml) for errors.

Missing drivers: Run the Device Manager to identify missing device drivers:

* Open Device Manager, expand „Device“, and select the „Actions“ menu

* Click „Update driver“ and follow prompts to update drivers

Installation interrupted due to network issues: Restart the installation process when necessary.

Troubleshooting Steps

Reinstall installation media: Reinsert the Windows installation media (USB drive, DVD, etc.)

Run System File Checker (SFC): Use PowerShell or Command Prompt to run SFC:

* „sfc /scannow“ (PowerShell) or „sfc /scannow“ (Command Prompt)

Reinstall drivers: Reinstall device drivers manually using the Device Manager.

Check for Windows updates: Ensure that Windows is up-to-date, as this may resolve installation issues.

Change Control Measures

Create a change control policy document: Outline the procedures for managing changes to the operating system and applications.

Establish a change approval process: Define who can initiate and approve changes, and when changes are required for critical systems.

Use version control software: Utilize version control tools (e.g., Git) to track changes made to the operating system and applications.

Monitor system logs: Regularly review system logs to identify potential security threats or issues.

Post-Installation Checks

Verify system integrity: Run a full virus scan on the computer, network devices, and any shared storage devices.

Test applications: Test installed applications to ensure compatibility and functionality.

Monitor system performance: Regularly check system performance and resource utilization to identify potential issues.

By following these steps and implementing change control measures, you can minimize the likelihood of installation issues and ensure a successful Windows installation process.
