Finding the most promising SysAdmin candidates is no mean feat. The most deserving candidates will demonstrate exemplary problem-solving skills required to keep an organization’s IT infrastructure up and running. Conducting a well-researched interview could filter good candidates from ineligible candidates. Listed below are some common interview questions that will come in handy in the hiring process:
 
 What’s the most annoying support issue you’ve been asked to resolve?
 Skilled candidates will illustrate their point about how they conquered frustration and tackled the problem with a calm demeanor. SysAdmins are looked upon as indispensable menders by fellow employees who seek their assistance for several technical issues. That’s why IT admins are expected to stay cool-headed in a problematic situation.
 
 Do you have any experience with hardware components?
 This question intends to assess whether the candidate is well-versed in installing and replacing hardware components as this is a task which will usually be performed by the system administrators. Only candidates having adequate knowledge of this operation should be taken into consideration.
 
 Should you restore a DC that has been backed up nine months ago?
 Through this question, recruiters are assessing candidates if they have a good understanding of domain controllers. Since the backup files should not exceed 180 days, it’s not advisable to back up a DC that exceeds this period as it may lead to flawed data.
 
 Can you distinguish between Active Directory and LDAP?
 Candidates must be able to distinguish between LDAP- short for Lightweight Directory Access Protocol and Active Directory. While the former is an established protocol for querying and modifying directory services, the latter offers LDAP protocol support and is a directory service initiated by Microsoft.
 
 Describe a time when you faced a difficult problem and couldn’t solve it at one go?
 Employers always seek those candidates who not only overcome failures but come up with a viable solution. In an ideal situation, the candidate should be able to convey their strategy after a failed attempt, rather than floundering around in vain.
