User Login Labs

User login issues are among the most common and critical—problems in IT support. These labs walk through real-world scenarios like incorrect credentials, expired passwords, disabled accounts, and profile corruption. I created them to strengthen my troubleshooting process from both the client and server sides. Whether it’s resetting passwords in Active Directory, interpreting event logs, or guiding users through credential updates, this lab series helps me build the confidence and precision needed to resolve login issues quickly and effectively.
