Session Outline
Windows Vista can self-diagnose a number of common problems, including failing hard disks, memory problems, and networking issues. Built-in Diagnostics provides information to IT professionals to solve those problems that can't be resolved automatically. Whenever Windows Vista detects a potential problem, it raises an event. IT professionals can use these events to monitor the behavior of desktops in their organization or to troubleshoot problems that cannot be resolved automatically.
