About Job interview 

"The job interview is the prerequisite to getting the job, An interview is conducted to have an insight into the attitude of the candidate to life in general and the chosen profession in particular."

The process of answering and asking questions for you involves two important and sometimes contradictory considerations:
1. Get the job: You must sufficiently impress hiring officials both professionally and personally so you will be offered the job.
2. Get useful information: You must acquire critical information on whether or not you wish to join the organization. In other words, the employer must also sufficiently impress you before you will accept a job offer.
Apart from the educational qualification what are the other skill that make one readily employable? The first and foremost is the attitude and aptitude. People must have a hunger to learn be innovative, willing to experiment and find solution. They should be flexible and willing to travel for any project related work. The candidate definitely be a team player, other skills are analytical and logical reasoning skills, ability to understand a customer problem and finding a solution for the same communication and social skill like the ability to interact well with people, ability to understand their points and ability to explain the solution well etc.. 

what are the right skill required to get a job?

-Creative

-Mindset

-Spirit of innovation

-Excellent communication skill

- ability to work in a team

- Sense of responsibility

"Ensuring that one has these skills is the way to excel in a job"

Questions in interview were based on the things mentioned in resume.

Tell me about yourself/ family background ?

Tell me your strengths which can also be your weakness?

Tell me the details of the project you have done ?

Why did you take this project?

Which courses have you enjoyed the most? The least? Why?

Did you prepare for the interview? What did you prepare? (Question will be asked from What you prepared)?

How do you expect a mechanical engineering graduate can learn and work in software company?

Why did you Select IT?

What u would be if not an IT engineer ?

Special Tip: One of the secrets to effectively answering interview questions is to keep your responses short and sweet...30 to 60 seconds max. If your interviewer wants more information, they'll ask you. Providing too much information, or talking in circles, puts you at risk of being rejected. The 2 reasons candidates talk too much are nervousness, and not preparing for a job interview.

The toughest moment in life?

What really inspires you or your real motivation?

Why should I recruit you?

What is Smart work & Hard Work.. Why 1 do you prefer?

What are your short term goals?

Are you adaptable?

The condition when you had dilemma?

why should I select you and prove how you are optimistic?

What is the worst situation you faced? How did you manage that?

Special Tip: Ask the company for the names and titles of all those who will be interviewing you. Look up their profiles on LinkedIn and their company website to get as much intelligence about them as possible. Maybe one of these managers wrote a recent article, gave a speech, or was interviewed by the press. This knowledge could give you keen insights into their burning issues, pet peeves, and personality type. This awareness will not only boost your self-confidence, it will also allow you to share your specific strengths and accomplishments that speak to his/her issues. Talk about scoring Brownie points.

What sort of criteria are you using to decide the organization you will work for?

Most importantly, I am looking for a company that values quality , ethics, and teamwork. I would like to work for a company that hires overachievers

Ans: The WORST thing you can say is "Not much." or "Nothing."

RESEARCH the company first, whether you are applying at a Fortune 500 Company. Do a search online. Look at their website. Find out who they are, what they do and why you'd want to work there. The WORST thing you can do is showing up at an interview knowing nothing about the company!

Once you know about the company you can answer this question more easily (for example: "I've read about how this company's growth is on the rise and also how involved it is in the local community.")

why would you like to join our company?

What do you know about our company?

"Irrelevant" Questions Asked in interviews

(It is very amusing to hear interviewees taking of the relevance or irrelevance of a given question in an interview. Every questions comes to you with an objective. you may not always be able to understand why a particular question is posted to you. But the interviewer will have some objective in mind. Just answer the question with no trace of suspicion or doubt or surprise or shock on your face. Remember that the interviewer is trying to assess you based on how you react to situations. There is nothing like an irrelevant question in an interview. Look at each question as an opportunity to fare better in the interview.)

You are given a cotton bud, an empty bottle and a lighter. Design a rocket and make it fly ?

How will you cut a cake into 8 pieces using just three cuts?

You need to arrange an industrial tour for 30 members. how will you plan it?

"You will realize that after reading all these questions you need to prepare yourself for the job interview. You need to know and be able to clearly express your job skills are and also your personality skills.
Your job skills and experience should be reasonably static. It's mean by, if you have one years experience in a role or skill you cannot suddenly claim to have 5 years experience. However with the personality traits the answers are totally subjective. The interviewer does not know whether you are enthusiastic, energetic, a team-player or possess 100 other professional behaviors. It is entirely up to you to convince them."

2. What is Active Directory Partition ?

Ans. Directory partition is where the AD information segregated and logically stored .

3. What are the Active Directory partition ? And what is the use of them ?

Ans. There are three native partitions Schema/Configuration/Domain and additionally there is also application partition .

Schema Partition Contains : Definition-al details about objects and attributes that one can store in AD. Replicates to all domain controller static in nature .

Configuration Partition Contains : Configuration data about forest and trees . Replicates to all domain controllers static as forest .

Domain Partition Contains : Object information for a domain ( Users, Computers, etc.). Replicates to all domain controller in a domain . The object portion becomes part of global catalog .

Application Partition Contains : It contains information about application in Active Directory .

i.e. When AD integrated DNS Zones are used there are two application partitions for DNS Zones .

Forest DNS Zone : It is part of forest , all domain controllers and DNS Servers in a forest receive a replica of this partition . A forest wide application partition stores the forest zone data .

Domain DNS Zone : It is unique for each domain , all domain controllers that are DNS server in that domain receives a replica of this partition .

Note : No DNS data is replicated to the global catalog server.

4. What is the Need of Reverse look-up ?

17990          - - - - - - - - - Console Replay

3002          - - - - - - - - - Raw Serial Data

10. What are FSMO roles what are their functions ?


Ans . There are changes, which could be performed across domain controllers in Active Directory, using the ‘multi-master replication’. However, performing all changes this way may not be practical, and so it must be refined under one domain controller that maneuvers such change requests intelligently. And that domain controller is dubbed as Operations Master, sometimes known as Flexible Single Master Operations (FSMO).

There are five FSMO roles and again classified into Forest wide and Domain wide .

Forest Wide roles :

Schema Master : The schema master is shared between every tree and domain in a forest & must be consistent between all objects . The Schema master controls all updates and modifications to the schema . There can be only one schema master in the entire forest .


Domain Naming Master : When a domain is added to forest the name must be unique in the forest. The Domain Naming master must be available while adding or removing a domain in a forest .

Domain Wide Roles :

RID Master : It is the task of RID master to allot sequences of relative IDs to each of the (numerous) domain controllers in its domain.When a domain controller creates a user, group, or computer object, a unique security ID (SID) is assigned to the object.

The SID contains two elements:

One is the domain SID (which is the same name for all SIDs that’s created in a domain)

And the other is an RID, which is unique for each SID created in the domain.

Activities such as moving an object between domains (using Movetree.exe) must be instigated on the domain controller acting as the RID master of the domain (that currently contains the object).

PDC Emulator : In order to ensure consistency, password changes from client computers must be replicated and updated to all domain controllers throughout the domain. And the PDC emulator can be configured to synchronize with an external time source.Provides consistency in password experience for users across sites. (To turn off use: AvoidPdcOnWan registry parameter). Double- checks incorrect passwords and reviews new password changes.

The domain controller configured with the PDC emulator role supports two authentication protocols:

The Kerberos V5 protocol

The NTLM protocol

Infrastructure Master : Tasks such as updating references from objects in its domain to objects in other domains are under the purview of the infrastructure master. The infrastructure master compares its data with that of a global catalog, which receives regular updates for objects in all domains through replication, thus making the global catalog data up to date.Say, in a scenario where the infrastructure master suspects outdated data, it fetches updated data from the GC and replicates it to the other domain controllers in a domain.

Pointers:

Unless there is only one domain controller in the domain, the infrastructure master role should not be assigned to the domain controller that is hosting the global catalog.

If the infrastructure master and global catalog are on the same domain controller, the infrastructure master will not function.

The infrastructure master will seldom find data that is out of date, so it will never replicate any changes to the other domain controllers in the domain.

In the case where all of the domain controllers in a domain are also hosting the global catalog, all of the domain controllers will have the current data and it does not matter which domain controller holds the infrastructure master role.

In scenarios where user / members of a group are renamed / modified, the infrastructure master is responsible for revising the group-to- user references.

When the member of a group is moved or renamed, especially if that member resides in a different domain from the group, the member would temporarily not appear in the group. It is the infrastructure master of the group’s domain’s responsibility to update the group of the new name or location of the member. This prevents the loss of group memberships associated with a user account.

Update is distributed by the infrastructure via multimaster replication.

11. How to get report of user's last log on ?


Ans. There are two ways one is using the AD Advanced searched window and other is using power shell .

Advanced Search Window --> Users --> Define the days since last logged on --> Find Now

Powershell :

Import-Module ActiveDirectory

function Get-ADUsersLastLogon()

{

  $dcs = Get-ADDomainController -Filter {Name -like "*"}

  $users = Get-ADUser -Filter *

  $time = 0

  $exportFilePath = "c:\lastLogon.csv"

  $columns = "name,username,datetime"


  Out-File -filepath $exportFilePath -force -InputObject $columns


  foreach($user in $users)

  {

    foreach($dc in $dcs)

    {

      $hostname = $dc.HostName

      $currentUser = Get-ADUser $user.SamAccountName | Get-ADObject -Server $hostname -Properties lastLogon


      if($currentUser.LastLogon -gt $time)

      {

        $time = $currentUser.LastLogon

      }

    }


    $dt = [DateTime]::FromFileTime($time)

    $row = $user.Name+","+$user.SamAccountName+","+$dt


    Out-File -filepath $exportFilePath -append -noclobber -InputObject $row


    $time = 0

  }

}

Get-ADUsersLastLogon

12. What is a forwarder and a conditional forwarder ?


Ans. A forwarder is a DNS server on a network that forwards DNS queries for external DNS names to DNS servers outside of that network . You can also forward queries according to specific domain names using conditional forwarder .

13. What is DNS and What is the port number DNS uses ?


Ans. DNS is equivalent to Internet's phone book . It translates name to ip address and vice versa . DNS user port number 53 .

14. What is DHCP and what are the port number used by them ?


Ans. DHCP(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is used to assign IP address automatically and efficiently through out the network from a predefined range of ip addresses . DHCP server uses port number 67 and DHCP client uses 68 .

15. What is the default interval for inter-site and intra-site replication ?


Ans. For Intrasite Replication the DC waits for 15 seconds and then sends an update notification to its closest replication partner .If the source DC have more than one replication partner , subsequent notifications goes out by at 3 seconds interval to each partner .

        By default the inter site replication interval is 180 minutes/3 hours but it can be adjusted to minimum 15 minutes and maximum 1 week .It is not recommended to minimize the interval time as it will use lot of bandwidth .


16. What is the default time period for scavenging ?


Ans. 7 days .


17. What are the Active Directory database files and the default location they are stored in ?


Ans. The Database files of Active Directory are : NTDS.dit ; and associated files are edb.chk , edb.log , res1.log & res2.log .

The data base and associated files are located in : "C:\Windows\System 32\NTDS" folder .


18. What is the recommended maximum number of domain controller per domain ?


Ans. To ensure reliable recovery of  SYSVOL , it is recommended a limit of maximum 1200 domain controllers per domain .


19.What is the port number of RDP ?


Ans. TCP&UDP - 3389 .


20. What is the length limitation for FQDN ?


Ans. Fully qualified domain names (FQDNs) in Active Directory cannot exceed 64 characters in total length, including hyphens and periods .
