In that case, I'd ask them some basic on IIS2: How to create websites, virtual
directories, manage directory security, install/update SSL certificates, secure
IIS, performance manage IIS, how to manage the logfiles. All basic stuff I'm
sure you know the answers to already
ISA: How to publish a website, monitor and tweak the cache settings, setup SSL
tunnelling and SSL bridging, setup content downloads, exclude websites from
being cached, etc.
If your development aspecet of websites isn't overly advanced, any decent IT
person can pick up enough HTML to maintain a basic website. Only if it's heavy
in more advanced things like ASP/ASP.NET/Jscript, etc, would asking them a ton
of development questions be useful IMO.

It's primarily a technical role. I'm after an experienced IT engineer that has
web management skills.

Are you looking for a developer or an admin, or both? Because I
wouldn't let a web developer admin an ISA box, especially if its in integrated
mode and publishing more then web sites. That could really effect your
business if they really don't know what they are doing.

More important Questions you should think about than just buzzwords:
Tell me about your technical skills.
What kind of work environment are you looking for?
If I were to ask your current co-workers about you, what would they
say?
What did you find most and least attractive about your last work
situation?
How would you handle this situation (fill in an appropriate scenario
for the job)?
What motivates you to put forth your best effort?"
What changes or improvements did you try to make in a previous job?
As you know, we'll be checking references before we make an offer to a
candidate. With that in mind, is there anything else you'd like to tell me

Can anyone
suggest good topics for me to bone up on in order to ask
reasonably coherent
questions? The post holder will be responsible for
administering our IIS2,
ISA server intranet and internet connection and WebMarshall
content
filtering. The nuts and bolts of site design will be included
but we're
trying to dissuade graphic designers. The main part of the
postholders role
is IT engineering with Webmastering as a speciality.
So, what should I know about and ask? Buzzwords! I need
buzzwords!
