1.	What is DHTML?
	DHTML means dynamic hyper text markup language it combines of static HTML, cascading style sheets (CSS) and scripting. by using scripting with CSS we can manipulate document object model (DOM) to get dynamic effect of the page.
2.	What are the commonly used data types in VBScript?

3.	What is a virtual root and how do you create one?
	A virtual root is essentially a new web site in IIS. You’d create one in the MMC by either selecting “New Virtual Site” from the site context menu, or clicking “Create” in the Home Directory tab in the properties for any existing folder. Using the first method, you can also create a virtual root that points to a logical directory outside the current web root. The new virtual root is largely, although not completely, as configurable as a new web site.
4.	How would you remotely administer IIS?
	Win2K and Win2K3 comes with a limited terminal services server built in for remote administration of the server. Set it up as remote client and use the TS client or Remote Desktop Connection on the client to login. From there, use MMC as if you were logged on locally.
5.	How would you go about securing IIS and MS-SQL Server?
	1. stay up to date on patches and keep security software (AV, firewall, IDS, maybe even packet logging, etc.) running. 2. IIS authenticates against domain users (even if the domain is “Local Machine”). Make sure you have no spurious users, and secure everyone’s passwords. If possible, segregate public web machines into different ACL segments (e.g. — a different domain).  3. Be careful with security policies. The standard server install comes with hardened LSP templates, which you should consider if you’re not experienced enough to build your own. Non-front tiers should have tight security policies barring anyone outside the adjacent tiers (and maybe a test machine or two) from access.
