Approved procedures tend to reduce the risk of making the problem worse.
The one thing to avoid is using someone else??™s batch file, script, or written procedure without
testing it first, especially if the item was written for another system. Yes, the information can be
helpful, but your system is different from the one for which the batch file, script, or written procedure
was designed. Differences between systems can cause significant damage, so you have to know
that this external information is actually going to work. Of course, you don??™t want to reinvent the
wheel either. Getting information from someone else can often help you create your own custom
solution faster.
