An engineering company has a policy that its end users should never make changes to the system Registry or preform hardware repairs of any kind on their office systems. Do you think the policy is a good one? Discuss the pros and cons of this policy.

I think this is a very good policy to have in place, because both the system registry and hardware are two things that if damaged or wrongly troubleshot can cause system failure as well as cause more issues down the road. But at the same time if you have someone who actually knows what they are doing with these things then it will make it easier on support technicians because they won’t have to do the work.

Pros

•    Makes it easier for support technicians

Cons

• Cause additional issues later on
• Cause system failure
