The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Questions for an entry level systems analyst

Asked by xxdcmast in Windows 2003 Server, Network Management, Active Directory

Tags: interview questions, server 2003, exchange

We are going to be interviewing a cantidate tomorrow for an entry level system analyst position. When interviewing I like to ask some question that gauge a cantidates general knowledge of the computer and systems they will be managing. We are a windows 2003/exchange 2003 shop currently.

I am looking for some good open ended questons to ask that will let them demonstrate their knowledge or lack thereof. Im looking for questons that have alot of different answers to allow them to show their methods. A few of my favorites are

1. How would you install a printer?
Theres a bunch of different ways of answering this and the questions are more important than the final answer. Some questions would be local/network, print server or direct, etc etc.

2. Name your 3 favorite tools and how youve used them to accomplish a goal.
This list is pretty much endless and anyone who manages systems will have their favorites. Giving them a chance to elaborate on it digs a little deeper into their experience. If they cant think of anything.... thats a bad sign

3. How would you install a piece of software on 300 machines.
Again this goes to the questions they ask. Ghost/sms/sccm/altiris, AD software install, startup script/logon script, users admins or not etc.

I am hoping you guys can come up with some other good open ended questions I could ask them tomorrow.
