Q: 1. gets a generic critical systems, with a brief description of what you would monitor and what threshold would you setup for her to activate the alarm?
2. If one of you needs a new patch box, what is your process of installing new patches on your machine?
actually there were three questions, the first event viewer shows a screen with a few successful annonymous login, and a pair of system failure audits. Explain and describe what is your action when you see logs.
I was a test during an interview for the position sys admin, I have more to do lately is networking, so my sys admin skills are pretty rusty.
So what do you think is the best answer to these questions? I would like to compare my own answer.
Thx

First research patch requirements and reason for installing. Then notify change management of impending patch install. Test patch on test machine…. and test for side effects…
You're right guy, I think they want the answer to be as thorough as possible. Unfortunately I think I went in for the interview with a little over confident of my self. I gave very basic answer and not very thorough in the process. I like how you answer the patch question though… that is exactly how the process goes in most places I worked, but I dont know why I didnt go into the details. Oh well

Re:1 This can very depending on the environment. You'll definitely want alerts on disk space (percentage of free disk space usually or it could be a fixed size), processor usage and page file usage. We use MOM to monitor as well as HP insight manager. Both can detect disk failures and eminite failures as well as monitor other hardware failures. Just set them up to shoot you an email when any of the traps change.
