Interviewers evaluate your experience with server roles (DNS, DHCP, File Services), PowerShell scripting, Azure AD integration, and infrastructure maintenance. You'll need to demonstrate deep knowledge of Windows internals, troubleshooting skills, and best practices for security and performance. Strong candidates show expertise in managing enterprise Windows environments.
