Windows Server Internals and Troubleshooting Questions

Assesses deep technical knowledge of Windows Server internals and advanced diagnostic techniques. Topics include process and thread behavior, memory management and virtual memory characteristics, kernel subsystems, storage and file system internals, driver architecture and driver troubleshooting approaches, event and diagnostic logging strategies, performance counters and analysis, crash dump and root cause analysis workflows, methods for diagnosing intermittent failures, and approaches to instrument and tune systems under load. Candidates should be able to describe systematic troubleshooting workflows and tools used to collect and interpret low level diagnostic data.
