What systems are you familiar with and how in-depth. What would you do if a company called and have no internet? What would you do if all servers appeared offline in monitoring for a customer and all of the clients at that site are remote that day? Several questions about Active Directory. Realistically they asked me a ton of questions all over the board related to IT to see how I would handle a situation. Quite often the questions are written to try and stump you so it requires a bit of thinking. None of those boring questions that make you sleepy. After all the tech they asked me some personal questions like my favorite movie, hobbies, home life. At the end it felt like getting to know someone outside of the office, still professional but a lot more connecting which is nice! You can tell they really want to get to know each and everyone of the people that work.
