  1. What is the recommended approach for high availability of the SharePoint Distributed Cache service?

    Answer: Running multiple Distributed Cache service instances with AppFabric cache clustering

    AppFabric (Windows Server AppFabric) supports a cache cluster where multiple Distributed Cache hosts share and replicate cached data, providing redundancy if one node fails.

  2. In SharePoint Server, what is a Content Type Hub used for?

    Answer: Publishing content types from a single site collection to all subscribing web applications

    A Content Type Hub is a special site collection whose Managed Metadata Service publishes content type definitions farm-wide so all subscribing site collections can consume the same standardized types.

  3. Which SharePoint backup method captures the farm configuration and all databases and is recommended for full disaster recovery?

    Answer: SharePoint VSS Writer backup via DPM or third-party tools

    Using the SharePoint VSS Writer with DPM or third-party backup tools captures both SQL databases and the farm configuration in a consistent, point-in-time snapshot suitable for full disaster recovery.

  4. What is the function of the Request Management Service introduced in SharePoint Server 2013?

    Answer: Routing incoming HTTP requests based on rules to appropriate SharePoint servers or throttling abusive clients

    Request Management enables fine-grained routing and throttling of incoming HTTP requests based on configurable rules, improving farm performance and protecting against abusive traffic.

  5. In SharePoint Server, which permission level grants a user the ability to create and manage subsites but not change top-level site settings?

    Answer: Manage Hierarchy

    The Manage Hierarchy permission level allows users to create, edit, and delete subsites and their content without granting the full administrative rights of the Full Control level.

  6. Which SharePoint feature enables term-based navigation and category pages for publishing sites?

    Answer: Managed Navigation using the Managed Metadata Service

    Managed Navigation allows site administrators to define navigation hierarchies using Managed Metadata term sets, enabling SEO-friendly URLs and category pages for publishing scenarios.

  7. What does setting the SharePoint web application's 'Claims Authentication Type' to 'Negotiate (Kerberos)' require in a multi-server farm?

    Answer: Service Principal Names (SPNs) must be registered for the web application's service account

    Kerberos authentication requires that Service Principal Names (SPNs) be registered in Active Directory for the service account running the application pool so clients can request Kerberos tickets correctly.
