What should be done when the VIDS system requires a complete server reset?

When the VIDS system requires a complete server reset, utilizing the operating program to reset the entire server is the appropriate action because a complete reset ensures that all processes are halted, and the system returns to its initial state, which can resolve a variety of issues including software malfunctions and memory leaks. This method allows for a comprehensive approach that refreshes all components of the server, thereby restoring optimal functioning.

In contrast, resetting only a faulty workstation does not address potential systemic issues affecting the entire server, and running diagnostics before a reset might delay necessary action when a complete reset is already warranted. Additionally, replacing faulty hardware components could be a necessary step if specific hardware failures are identified, but it does not directly resolve issues related to software or operational failures that a server reset would typically address. Therefore, using the operating program for a complete server reset is the most effective solution in this context.
