+1 on Ken's reply.

I think a better judge of an SE would be related to AD or Windows in general. 
So something like this would be a more telling sign:

Group Policy? What's that?
PowerShell skills?
AdminSDHolder?
FSMO roles?
InterSite replication?

By the way, I've just finished up interviewing quite a few people for our 
Technical Support II positions (basically a Jr. Systems Engineer) and very few 
of these people had any clue what these things are. Many of these candidates 
had 10-15 years of experience.

Why would a Domain Admin be, necessarily, expected to know about Shavlik? I’ve 
never seen Shavlik used in an enterprise environment (it’s Tivoli, Altiris and 
maybe SCCM), so if a DA comes from an enterprise environment Shavlik’s probably 
only something they might see in passing on a list/community like this one.

I’m sure there are plenty of products and vendors that each one of us here have 
never heard of.

Cheers

“What’s Shavlik? Never heard if it…”

And these folks are Domain Admins…
