A network administrator would use the **tracert** utility (also known as traceroute) primarily **to identify where a packet was lost or delayed on a network**. This tool traces the route that packets take from the source to a destination IP address, showing each hop (router) along the way and the time taken to reach each one. This helps diagnose connectivity issues, such as identifying points of failure or delays in the network path.
