Windows networking environment?

SlayerX

I am applying for a job and it says they want someone with a "strong working knowledge in Windows networking environment."
What specific areas does that cover? Is that Server 2008 or tcp/ip in a networking evironment? Or like a router the connects severl computers together in a Windows based environment? They don't clearly state what that is so if anyone here could clarify it for me that would greatly help.

That's probably a sentence some HR douche came up with. I reckon it means some understanding of Windows domains and workgroups. Questions may be like:

1. Explain how a computer gets joined to the domain.
2. How does DNS work (explain in a few lines).
3. A user cant access a file share on a file server. What will you do?
4. A user cant print. What will you do?

Stuff like this really. Or they may go deeper and may ask anything from SRV records to trusts to subnets to Global catalog to really anything. What's the job title?

Yeah, then it'll be on the lines of the four questions I posted.
