6,700 system administrator interview questions shared by candidates

Oddly, I was asked about the "5 main components of AD" this was kind of puzzling both because AD administration was not heavily stressed as a significant requirement of the job, and also because the question itself was vague, what did the interviewer mean? Was he talking about AD structure, such as trees, and forests, and OU's, etc. or was he talking about FSMO roles, or significant elements like domains and trusts, the schema, federated services, replication, ADDS and LDAP, etc?

Interview questions were based on prior work experience. They even asked a proof of concept type of questions. You have to go thru at least three technical rounds to get final confirmation. The talent acquisition team does a good job or scheduling and rescheduling interview.
