Question 1

What IIS feature allows administrators to delegate configuration of specific settings to site owners without granting server-level access?

Accepted Answer

Feature Delegation

Answer

Feature Delegation in IIS Manager lets server administrators control which IIS configuration settings site owners can override in their web.config files.

Question 2

Which IIS health monitoring feature automatically replaces a worker process that has stopped responding?

Accepted Answer

Ping Enabled (worker process ping)

Answer

When Ping Enabled is set, IIS periodically pings the worker process and recycles it if the process fails to respond within the configured timeout.

Question 3

What is the purpose of the IIS 'Request Filtering' module?

Accepted Answer

Blocks requests that match potentially dangerous patterns or exceed size limits

Answer

Request Filtering screens incoming HTTP requests and rejects those that match blocked patterns, extensions, verbs, or exceed configured size limits.

Question 4

Which command-line tool is used to manage IIS from the command line on Windows Server?

Accepted Answer

appcmd.exe

Answer

Appcmd.exe is the primary IIS command-line administration tool for managing sites, application pools, bindings, and configuration from scripts or the command prompt.

Question 5

In IIS, what does the 'preloadEnabled' setting on a web application do?

Accepted Answer

Sends a fake request to warm up the application before real traffic arrives

Answer

When preloadEnabled is true, IIS sends an initialization request to the application during startup so the first real user does not experience cold-start latency.
