Hi John
There are a lot of the basic questions which have already been covered. The
type of "what is x". "what is the difference between y and z".
I tend to like the more open ended questions which give the interviewee a
chance to show their understanding and experience. E.g.
1) Which management pack have you found the most noisy? How have you
gone about tuning it?

2) What are the Pros and Cons of a gateway server in SCOM 2007 R2? E.g.
cost a management server license. Can slow down maintenance mode. Does
consolidate some data. Eassier admin of untrusted domains. No
administrative help with workgroup computers
3) What are some high availability options for SCOM 2007 R2 core
components. If they say they have SCOM 2012 experience then ask about
High Availability for SCOM 2012 - agents = same as 2007. Network devices =
resource pools. Console connections = NLB
4) If they say they are advanced users then perhaps ask, why can't you target
a rule or monitor at a group? Ask them to explain what a class is? An object?
5) What type of issues have you come across when deploying agents and how
did you resolve them?
And while it is belting down with rain non-stop here in Blighty, I could be
tempted down under, even if you contiue to beat us at rugby ;-)
Good luck
