Routed a real 'RDP fails with An internal error has occurred' case through the bundled routing table: it matched the certificate reference exactly and led straight to MachineKeys ACL and f686aace* TLS private-key permission checks that the no-skill baseline missed entirely — the baseline stopped at the generic delete-cert-and-restart remedy in the wrong order. The 36 reference files carry runnable, evidence-first PowerShell with per-step normal/abnormal verdicts, severity levels, and fixes that are never auto-executed. Scripts were verified for technical accuracy but not executed on a live Windows host (none available); the delta was measured on the produced diagnostic artifact. Note: the skill body is written in Chinese, though its trigger description is English.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 5/5
- Triggers reliably 5/5
- Output vs. baseline 8/10
- Docs & honesty 4/5
What Alibaba Cloud ECS Windows Troubleshooting does
Systematic online troubleshooting for Windows Server and Windows ECS instances: a routing table maps the reported symptom to ordered diagnostic references covering RDP, networking, storage, activation, updates, performance, accounts, and security. Each step ships runnable PowerShell collection scripts with explicit normal/abnormal criteria, causal-chain analysis, and confirmation-gated fix scripts. Triggers on any Windows problem report, from specific errors to vague 'check the system' requests.
