    System Administrator interview questions

    This sample of System Administrator interview questions includes examples of technical and
    situational questions to help you identify the best candidates for your company. System
    Administrators may also be called SysAdmins.

    System Administrator Interview Questions


    System Administrators are responsible for the proper operation of the company’s IT systems,
    including hardware, software and network.

    SysAdmins are usually the first point of contact, so candidates need to combine excellent
    troubleshooting skills with an ability to explain technical details to a non-technical audience. During
    your interviews, test candidates for their knowledge of IT system best practices.

    For this role, future SysAdmins will deal with various issues (e.g. backing up and recovering data,
    upgrading servers and installing applications), so it’s best to choose candidates with broad
    technical backgrounds. Keep an eye out for system administrator candidates who are passionate
    about the IT field and enjoy continuous learning. Many of these questions work well for a windows
    system admin role.
