"A third disadvantage of System Center Configuration Manager 2007 R3 is that, unlike WDS, you can't use it to deploy an operating system to a bare-metal system."

A bare-metal install using System Center Configuration Manager 2007 is a supported scenario.

Note from the Author or Editor:
The link in question instructs the user to create bootable media and then boot the bare-metal machine from this bootable media by inserting the media physically at the computer. This is not the same as remotely installing an OS onto a bare-metal machine.

To improve clarity, please change the third and fourth sentences of the last paragraph on page 13 to the following:

"A third disadvantage of System Center Configuration Manager 2007 R3 is that, unlike WDS, you can't use it to deploy an operating system onto a bare-metal system without using bootable media. The target system requires the System Center Configuration Manager 2007 client software or is booted by using other bootable media."

On page 15, the last paragraph of the page , line 3

Change:

Note from the Author or Editor:

Change:

To:

The overview reads "... you use Disk 1 to add a mirror for volume C."

During the actual exercise, you make a new volume on Disk 1 (Volume E), and then mirror that volume onto Disk 2. Volume C is not actually used for anything.

This entire exercise has issues in this regard, sometimes being correct (Making Volume 2 Mirror Volume 1(E:)), and sometimes saying that you are making Volume 1 mirror Volume 0 (C:)).

Have not checked printed version for the same issue, have confirmed it is in the Mobi version.

Note from the Author or Editor:
Some wording needs to be updated in Exercise 3. The wording changes pertain only to the description preceding the exercise and the commentary between steps 4 and 5.

Change the line preceding step 1 to the following: "In this exercise, which you perform on Server2, you create a new volume on Disk 1 and then add a mirror on Disk 2."

Change the first sentence after step 4 and before to the following: "A new volume is created on Disk 2, and then, after both Disk 1 and Disk 2 are converted to dynamic disks, the new volume on Disk 2 is also assigned the drive letter E."

at page 163 , at the last line we read :

" By default, local administrators are already members of the Remote Desktop Users group "

but after completing the wizard , when we look at local users and groups , we see that "remote desktop users" group doesn't contain administrators group.

Note from the Author or Editor:
On page 163, change the last sentence to the following:

"By default, the local Administrators group is already allowed access to the RD Session Host server, as shown in Figure 3-9."

at page 180 , at second paragraph , line 1 and 2 , it reads :

" In the Redirection?Disable The Following area of the tab, you can determine which features should not be redirected to the client "

i think it is better to change it to :

" In the Redirection?Disable The Following area of the tab, you can determine which features should not be redirected to the server "

Note from the Author or Editor:
Change the sentence in question to:

"In the Redirection?Disable The Following area of the tab, you can determine which features should not be redirected to the Remote Desktop session on the client."

at page 183 , 4 line under user logon mode , it read :

" To prevent users from connecting to the RD Session Host indefinitely, you can select Allow Reconnections, But Prevent New Logons."

change it to :

" To prevent new users from connecting to the RD Session Host indefinitely, you can select Allow Reconnections, But Prevent New Logons."

Note from the Author or Editor:
Change the sentence in question to the following:

"To prevent new users from connecting to the RD Session Host indefinitely, you can select Allow Reconnections, But Prevent New Logons."

after the first comma, the sentence reads "... you can control the follow of traffic ..."

Makes sense if one is to "control the flow of traffic"

Have not confirmed on printed version

Note from the Author or Editor:
I can confirm this in the printed version. Please change the word "follow" to "flow."

"These dependant features will either be removed, or the dependant functionality will be made available."

Removing a feature would make the dependant functionality unavailable

Note from the Author or Editor:
Language is unclear. Replace sentence with the following:

"If the Web Server (IIS) server role is removed, these features might become unavailable."

"... you can type the appropriate names in a command-seperated list."

command -> comma

Note from the Author or Editor:
In the first sentence on page 379, "command-separated list" should instead read "comma-separated list."
