Questions to ask a future employer
Morning,
I have always been stuck when i get asked if i have any questions on an interview and wondered if i was possibly going out of bounds if asking theses questions
What is the size of you current IT infustrusure on site??
How many PC/laptops/Servers on site that i may need to manage??
would an employer welcome these questions as me having a great interest in working for the company and doing my (Future) job to the best of my abilities??

These I believe are great questions to ask...especially when they ask "If you have any questions for them?" you can always say something to the effect of "Can you tell me the size....if so, what is it and the same with about devices to be managed if it applies to the job!
great questions, I believe that the guy in the interview might see as "this person asked the right questions..."
Those fall pretty well into the "Questions you're expected to ask" category.
Target these to the position you're applying for, but the following are a solid list of questions you would typically want to know before starting a job:
What OSs and versions you'll be supporting (desktop and/or server)?
Number of end users and devices per user?
Number of sites we support?
Physical vs. virtual and type of virtualization?
Number of domains we support?
Size of the IT team?
Software used for IT tracking/organization?
There are a lot more questions that can be asked, but these are a few basics that'll give you a decent understanding of the environment you're walking into.
One thing I ask is, "What training do you provide for future development?" It shows a desire to keep learning.
