If a client deployment fails, which is the first step to troubleshoot?

The first step in troubleshooting a client deployment failure is to review deployment logs. Reviewing the logs provides critical information about what occurred during the deployment process. They can indicate whether there were errors during installation or configuration and give insights into specifics such as any scripts that failed to execute or any resources that weren't accessible.

Logs are often the most direct way to understand the nature of the failure, providing concrete evidence that can guide the next steps in troubleshooting. By reviewing the logs first, you can avoid unnecessary actions such as restarting services or checking configurations without understanding what the underlying problem might be. This ensures a more efficient troubleshooting process and helps in pinpointing the exact issue that needs to be addressed.

Other steps, such as checking available disk space or inspecting network settings, can also be important but would typically come after you've gathered insights from the logs to determine whether those factors are contributing to the failure.
