A mechanism is provided for isolating faults in a complex configuration by capturing a snapshot of the configuration and comparing the snapshot with a certified configuration. These configurations are stored in a database. The comparison is carried out on a component-by-component basis. The specifications of these components are checked against the specifications stored in the database that outline the details of the certified configurations. The mechanism of this invention encompasses a mechanism for capturing the snapshot and the specifications of the component versions and settings, as well as a mechanism for comparing the customer's configuration against the certified configurations.
