QUESTIONING TOOL
Questions to probe the candidate’s underpinning Satisfactory
knowledge Response

Extension/Reflection Questions Yes No

1. Why do you think it is important to regularly check
server backups?
2. You have been assigned to deploy a new Windows Server
that will be used as a file server for a small organization.
Give at least 3 steps would you take to ensure the server
is secure and can handle the expected load of files and
users?
Safety Questions
1. Why do you think is it important to use complex
password in creating user accounts?
2. In some server configurations, why would they
deactivate roles and close the ports that the server is not
using?
Contingency Questions
1. How would you ensure that the server is deployed with
enough safety precautions in relation to malwares and
other unforeseen scenarios?
2. Why should we always update the server contingency
plan regularly?
Job/Role Environment Questions
1. What steps do you take when setting up a new server for
production use?
2. What are some networking protocols and how
are they used in a server environment?
Rules and Regulations
1. How would you ensure that users were created
according to the rules and regulations of server?
2. Should the rules and regulations of the server align with
the organization that is using it? Why?
 Answer Key for the Questioning Tool
Extension/Reflection Questions
1. Regularly checking server backups is crucial to ensure data integrity
and availability. In the event of a server failure, having a recent and
verified backup can minimize downtime and data loss.
2. First, I would ensure that the server has the latest Windows Server
updates installed and that it meets the minimum hardware
requirements for the expected workload. Next, I would configure the
server with appropriate security settings, such as disabling unnecessary
services, configuring firewall rules, and enabling antivirus software.
Then, I would create shared folders for the different groups of users and
set appropriate permissions to control access. Finally, I would configure
backups and disaster recovery procedures to ensure that the
organization’s data is protected in case of any unforeseen incidents.
Safety Questions
1. Using complex passwords will help mitigate cyberattacks. Because
compared to a weak password, complex passwords are not easily
exploited. That’s why, if you try to create online accounts, the sites
require a password that has several special characters, numbers and
letters.
2. Deactivating unnecessary services and ports are a good safety practice
on configuring server. It would reduce the risk of server attacks because
open ports are often exploited by several malicious attacks.
Contingency Questions
1. We should be able to mitigate these possible scenarios if we follow the
pre-deployment procedures and practices in relation to server
deployment. Example, configure the firewall, setup security measure on
accounts and users by using complex passwords etc.
2. In deploying servers, a contingency server plan is always necessary. We
need to update the plan regularly because there might be a change in
system or workflow, so in order for the server to cope up, we need to
update the configurations inside the server.
Job/Role Questions
1. In setting up new servers, you need to have a lot of technical knowledge
and attention to detail. You should know how to configure the system
and ensure tests to make sure everything is working.
2. You’ll need to understand how different protocols are used in a server
environment, and how to configure them to ensure maximum
performance.
Rules and Regulation
1. By following the suggested rules and regulations when creating new
users which depends on the organization where the server is deployed.
2. Yes, because a server will cater the needs of a specific organization that
it serves. So it should align with its policies to ensure smooth process.
