In this chapter, we have we have looked at how DaRT, part of MDOP, can be used to resolve a number of deeper and more challenging issues. DaRT requires several preparation steps before it can be used, including licensing MDOP, downloading, and building a CD before it can be used to resolve a problem. There are 14 tools, plus help as part of the tool and we have examined four extremely useful tools that are not always found on a PC to resolve password issues in a supported manner. We have examined crash dumps to understand what is behind a computer crash as well as learned how to remove hotfixes that may be preventing a computer from booting.
Finally, we ran the Microsoft anti-malware tools to ensure a PC is free from unwanted malicious software.
In the next chapter, we will download and install Windows 7 Enterprise Edition onto computers running older versions of Windows and look in detail about using Windows XP as a starting point for these upgrades.
