A user named Sarah has reported that her ability to access the corporate website fluctuates throughout the working day, with periods during which the website becomes inaccessible. What question should you prioritize to effectively gather initial relevant information and identify potential patterns or causes?
Inquire if the issue happens at specific times and if it's restricted to the corporate site or also affects other websites.
Suggest checking Sarah's computer for potential malware or viruses that might be affecting her connectivity.
Ask directly about any recent changes to her computer system or network settings to correlate the issue to changes in configuration.
Query whether any of her colleagues are facing similar issues, focusing on possible common variables across users.
Asking about the specific times when the issue occurs and whether it pertains specifically to the corporate website or other sites as well sheds light on whether the issue is isolated to a particular domain, potentially indicating a server or hosting issue, or if it's a broader connectivity or network problem. This helps distinguish between local and network-wide issues. Although other questions are relevant in the troubleshooting process, pinpointing the issue's frequency, timing, and scope from the start is most effective for forming an accurate initial assessment.
