Level I admin, sort of a network/server/configuration smart hands and analyst. You'll touch troubleshooting but have a clear escalation path. It's a great way to learn if this is your first if you aim to learn from each issue, implementation, etc.

Probably be asked what kind of virtualization projects or environments you've worked with before, and ask you to ellaborate on that experience. With the desktop support piece I'd expect "What software packaging / deployment tools have you used", "What different types of imaging software have you worked with", again asked to elaborate on those.

For the network / LAN portion I'm willing to bet it will be a VLAN related question, so I'd bring something to write with, and write the question down and answer it like you would on a CCNA test.

SAN's I have no experience interviewing for.

Always write down questions and thoughtfully answer them though, that seems to be a biggy, don't try to come off as a human calculator. Hiring managers want someone who digs for the right answer, not someone who knows the wrong answer

Good luck!!
