Mine is: 

We have to migrate IP addresses from one server to another with minimal down time. How would this be accomplished?  This 15 min process of moving 10 IPs took the tech 7 hours because he took down the server, didn’t change the MAC binding of IPs, and didn’t use a temporary IP on the old server. Some of it is education but most of it is the fact that he didn’t have a plan of attack.

Second. A server is under high load? Why? How can the issue be resolved?
