System Engineer Interview Questions and Answers
Ғылым және технология
So you've landed yourself a job interview for a System Engineer role, or maybe a Sys Admin role, maybe even a Wintel Engineer role.
Whatever it is, it's support engineer related, and there's some Windows Engineer experience required, this video is going to go through some of the basic questions and answers for the role.
As we move into Cloud services faster and faster, it doesn't change the fact that we need infrastructure like Microsoft Server and services to keep companies and organisations running.

I got the job. Thanks for this!!
System engineer focuses on designing and creating systems, the system administrator is involved in the ongoing support of those systems and networks. They manage the system security, operation time and make sure it needs matches with the existing budget. Many KZreadrs confuse the two roles.

I believe companies use the term Administrator/Engineer loosely nowadays. The job title may be Engineer but the person would also be performing administrator roles as well as implementing design. HR responsible for advertising the position does not understand this difference.
These questions are good for internees. These days interviews are more about if you could do DevOPs (Programming/Languages, Shell/Bash/Powershell scirpts, CI/CD pipelines, Cloud AWS/Azure/GCP Administrations, Network devices administration/configurations, Dockers/Kubernetes, 0365, Ansible/chef/Terraform..and a lot more) but the title of the job role will be System Administrator or Systems Engineer.
Wow, I am currently trying to get a job in IT, i use to work in networking. These questions have cleared me that i have the knwoledge to be a system engineer. I was only going for a destkop IT rol or some basic stuff. Now i feel confident to apply to better jobs. Thanks man.

You need to download server and use virtualization lab to break and fix. Especially Active Directory DNS DHCP Groups Policy. Cloud computing. AWS Azure etc. MS 365, outlook exchange server. All important port numbers.
I like the way you present these interview questions. I hope you make more of these.

I have an interview scheduled soon, but it's for a program called 'Civil Systems Engineering'. Can I expect the same questions applied to civil engineering?
Do have need to study Computer Network or computer Software engineer to become a System engineer?
Just had a systems engineer interview myself and everything on here I was asked about. The interview was for an hour and might've been the toughest interview I've ever had. It was the 2nd interview in hopefully a 3 round process as I'm waiting to hear feedback from the hiring manager. I was also asked about my experience with MS Azure, Exchange, and other M365 Admin responsibilities. After the first series of questions, the interviewer shared his screen and proceeded to ask me about a variety of things such as Vsphere/ESXI, Hyper-V, JSON, XML, batch files, ps1 files, etc. I felt as if I knew most of the technologies but I definitely fell short when it came to things like JSON and XML. I was also asked a few ITIL questions to my surprise, which I thought were easy to answer. I have 4 years of experience in the field working mostly Help desk and a little bit of systems/infrastructure work.

Best to be honest, Paolo, as the last thing you want is to take the role and then be unable to fulfil your duties.

If you really have no experience in handling P1 or P2 incidents then that's fine. I assume they would also be expecting that since you are new to the field and might not have much experience or any experience at all. What I would probably do is talk about how you would try to handle a P1 or P2 incident.
Great video bro! Is there a difference between system engineer n systems engineer?

Thank you. I'm guessing you maybe mean between System Engineer vs System Admin? In Australia, the term job title is really used interchangeably but I noticed in other parts of the world, they may carry different job descriptions.

Yeah, I got a degree in systems engineering in America and have an interview today and it has nothing to do with IT. It actually has to do with the engineering of systems (cars, airplanes, etc). Completely different fields
