This is a stakeholder-facing role requiring structured troubleshooting , SLA-based incident handling , vulnerability remediation ownership , and excellent English communication .

Key Responsibilities

Active Directory / Windows (L3)

Troubleshoot and manage AD DS including FSMO roles , AD replication , and DNS in enterprise environments.

Deep GPO troubleshooting (inheritance/blocking, loopback processing, WMI filters, replication/SYSVOL issues, gpresult/RSOP analysis).

Implement and maintain access controls aligned to RBAC and least privilege principles.

VMware (day-to-day operations)

Operate VMware vSphere environments: vCenter health checks , cluster monitoring, alarms, capacity/performance basics.

Perform ESXi patching using vLCM/VUM , maintenance mode workflows, and post-patch validation.

Manage snapshot lifecycle, support HA/DRS monitoring, and handle vMotion -related operational scenarios.

Patching + Vulnerability Remediation

Own Windows patching activities using a named tool ( SCCM/MECM and/or WSUS ; BigFix exposure is a plus).

Drive a structured vulnerability remediation lifecycle: scan → severity triage → supersedence check → remediate (patch/manual) → validate → sign-off .

Coordinate maintenance windows, change processes, deployment validations, and reporting.

Incident / Problem Management

Handle P1/P2 incidents with SLA-driven escalation , bridge call initiation, and crisp stakeholder updates.

Produce high-quality RCA with corrective/preventive actions.

Author runbooks/SOPs (not just follow) with measurable operational impact (MTTR reduction, fewer repeats, audit readiness).

Mandatory Requirements (All Must-Have)

AD L3 depth: FSMO, replication, DNS + real GPO troubleshooting experience

RBAC: must know the term and explain least privilege/access governance clearly

VMware ops depth: vCenter + ESXi patching (vLCM/VUM) + HA/DRS + vMotion (structured day-to-day understanding)

Windows patching ownership: hands-on with SCCM/MECM and/or WSUS (planning, deployment, troubleshooting, reporting)

Vulnerability remediation: can explain an end-to-end structured process from scan to sign-off

Incident escalation + RCA: understands SLA, P1/P2 handling, bridge call logic, and problem management outputs

Runbook/SOP authoring: examples with impact

English communication: clear, structured, confident (global stakeholder-facing)

Scenario-based thinking: can think out loud and troubleshoot step-by-step (not tool listing only)

Comfortable working in rotational shifts (remote)

Good-to-Have

BigFix (IBM BigFix) exposure: relays/fixlets/baselines/deployments

Hyper-V exposure

PowerShell scripting for triage/automation

ITIL / Change Management experience

What We Will Evaluate (Interview Focus)

RBAC explanation + least privilege approach

FSMO roles + failure impact

GPO troubleshooting scenarios (inheritance/loopback/WMI/replication)

VMware operational depth (vCenter, vLCM/VUM, HA/DRS, vMotion, snapshots)

Vulnerability remediation walkthrough (supersedence + validation + sign-off)

SLA-based escalation + RCA + runbook authorship

Communication clarity and structured thinking
