Microsoft Internet Information Server Quality Control & Assurance 5

Question 1

Which IIS health monitoring event triggers when a worker process fails to start within a configured time limit, indicating a startup quality issue?

Accepted Answer

Worker Process Startup Timeout (startupTimeLimit)

Answer

The startupTimeLimit attribute defines how long IIS waits for a worker process to initialize; exceeding it triggers a startup timeout error logged in Event Viewer.

Question 2

A QA team requires that all HTTP traffic be redirected to HTTPS at the IIS level. Which module is the recommended way to implement this server-side redirect?

Accepted Answer

URL Rewrite module with an HTTP-to-HTTPS rule

Answer

The URL Rewrite module can redirect all HTTP requests to HTTPS using a condition that checks the HTTPS server variable and a redirect action.

Question 3

During QA validation, you find that IIS serves files with a missing or incorrect MIME type, causing browsers to download them instead of rendering. Where is MIME type mapping configured in IIS?

Accepted Answer

MIME Types feature in IIS Manager

Answer

The MIME Types feature maps file extensions to Content-Type values that IIS includes in responses, controlling how browsers handle the files.

Question 4

Which IIS Rapid-Fail Protection setting automatically disables an application pool if worker processes crash more than a specified number of times within a time window?

Accepted Answer

Maximum Failures within a specified Failure Interval

Answer

Rapid-Fail Protection stops the application pool when the number of crashes exceeds Maximum Failures within the Failure Interval, preventing a crash loop.

Question 5

A QA standard requires confirming that IIS binds only to necessary IP addresses and ports. Which IIS Manager section lists and controls these bindings per site?

Accepted Answer

Site Bindings in Edit Site dialog

Answer

The Site Bindings dialog for each IIS website shows and controls which IP addresses, ports, and host names the site listens on.
