If I read the initial post correctly the interview is with Microsoft?
If yes, you may want to Google for "Microsoft interview" - there's tons of stuff out there - basically be ready to get beat up, down and sideways during the interview by a bunch of different folks. Be ready to answer just about any off the wall brain teaser possible (including some that are unsolvable) See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_interview as well.
An acquaintance of mine, already a sometime MS employee, recently tried to cross-deck within MS to a position in Redmond and the process he described was beyond brutal, perhaps even sadistic, he went through several 10 hour day long interviews - in the end he was so turned off by the whole process that he decided that he really didn't want the position when it was finally offered.

Thanks everyone for tips and links.
I did go through the links ...they appear very easy...either my preparation is good or easy questions could have been posted online.
One interview can change my future...having cleared all interview so far..i am getting more anxious for the interview day. I want to crake the interview with flying colors...!!! So want to leave no stone unturned..!!!!:)

SQL Server support -- in MS ! take it easy . This is one of the easiest job in the world ..:D
Ok then let me give some more hints !!
For any support job employer mainly looks at employee 's technical as well as handling problem under pressure skill. You may be very good at technical side but if you are not able to handle a very critical situtaion
under presure then it is of no use.
For that, you should have a cool attitude with a quality to gain trust of the customers, ensuring him that he have landed at the right place.
That makes everything different. Techinally there will be lots of links and KB to solve the issue but how smartly you are driving the case and solving the issue by gaining the customer trust is the game of this job.
Go and speak to MS guys with full confident and tell them you can handle any customer under the sky.
Points:
1. Good communicaton skill
2. Good Technical knowledge in RDBMS concept
3. Good knowledge in networking and OS will help
All the Best .......:)
I know you will give all of us the good news !!
