Third sentence reads: "This approach is typically is used to deliver..."
It should be: "This approach is typically used to deliver..."

Note from the Author or Editor:
Correction is in third sentence of first bullet.

Paragraph starts by saying: "Besides using MAP and SCCM, there are other tools and methodologies you can use to assess the readiness of your environment for migration to Windows Server 2012. The tools you could use include the following:
- System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) [...]"

The first example given is SCCM -- so clearly it's not "besides using [...] SCCM".

The first paragraph should read: "Besides using MAP, there are other tools and methodologies you can use to assess the readiness of your environment for migration to Windows Server 2012. The tools you could use include the following:
- System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) [...]"

Note from the Author or Editor:
Publisher, please change 1st paragraph below "Other tools and methodologies" heading on page 27 to read as follows:

Besides using MAP, there are...

The link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2526776 no longer exists. It has been replaced with http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2744129.

Instead of "Remote Roles and Features Wizard," it should be "Remove Roles and Features Wizard."

In the section "Converting Server Core to Minimal Server Interface" there should be a space between 'Infra' and '-Restart' in the PowerShell command

Note from the Author or Editor:
Reader is correct

"Because Windows Server 2012 can be installed only on x64 system hardware, you must use either the LiteTouchPE_x64.wim or LiteTouchPE_x64.wim files as your boot media for kick-starting the deployment process"

One of the two "LiteTouchPE_x64." should be a .iso and the other .wim

On the introduction to the practice (page 71) it is written that "for the purposes of these exercises, the name of the server is assumed to be SERVER1".
At step 10 it is written "and then type SERVER8 as the new name for your server".

It should be named SERVER1

Note from the Author or Editor:
Publisher, please change step 10 on page 72 so that "SERVER8" becomes "SERVER1"

On both the Mobi and PDF editions we read "Download the Windows Installer (.msi) file for the v64 version of MDT 2012"

"v64" should be changed to "x64".

Note from the Author or Editor:
Publisher, in step 6 on page 74 please change "v64" to "x64"

Second point in disadvantages says:

* ARM) versions of Windows 8 are not supported, only the x86 and x64 versions.

Should it be:

* AMD versions of Windows 8 are not supported, only the (Intel) x86 and x64 versions.

?

Note from the Author or Editor:
On page 93 third bullet from top of page, change "ARM)" to "AMD"

The last sentence above the picture states [...Chapter 10, ?Deploying and managing virtualized workloads.?]

However, Chapter 10 is 'Implementing Group Policy'.
I assume chapter 7 'Hyper-V virtualization' is the correct one being referred to, but I'm not that far into the book yet ....

First domain controller in new forrest

4. "sdand" should be "and"

The first sentence reads "To deploy the first Windows Server 2012 domain controller in a new forest using Server Manager, you can run Windows PowerShell commands directly on the server", but the reference to Server Manager is incorrect and seems to come from the previous lesson.

It should be changed to "To deploy the first Windows Server 2012 domain controller in a new forest you can run Windows PowerShell commands directly on the server"

Note from the Author or Editor:
Publisher, please change the 1st sentence after the heading "Preparing for deploying the first domain controller in a new forest" on page 164 to read as follows:

To deploy the first Windows Server 2012 domain controller in a new forest you can run Windows PowerShell...

"d eployment" should be "deployment"

"Switch back to ACAC," should read "Switch back to ADAC,"

The question says "Which of the following is not true...."
The not is in italics
The correct answers should be B and D

Note from the Author or Editor:
Publisher: In the lesson review on page 233 in question 2 please change "is not true" to "is true" in next printing, thanks.

Book says "DNSSEC works by combining public key infrastructure (PKI) cryptography with DNS to use digital signatures and cryptography keys to sign DNZ zones ..."

This appears to be a typo, book should read "... to sign DNS zones ...", not 'DNZ zones'.

Note from the Author or Editor:
Typo confirmed, publisher please change DNZ to DNS on this page..

"...the output of Show-Command -Module NetTCPIP shown previously..." should read "...the output of Get-Command -Module NetTCPIP shown previously..."

Note from the Author or Editor:

The diagram references two protocols in the Transport layer - TCP & IPUD.
Should this be TCP & UDP?

It asks to do exactly the same as what is asked in step 13. I believe it is meant to ask the same as in step 13. but then for SERVER2 instead of SERVER1. So replace "SERVER1" with "SERVER2" in step 14.

Note from the Author or Editor:
Please change SERVER1 to SERVER2 in both instances of step 14 on page 283

Original text: "if these default location remains unchanged."
either change "location remains" to "locations remain", or change "these" to "this"

the parameter "-VMNetworkAdapter" in answer B. is incorrect, should be "-VMNetworkAdapterName" (as the examples on page 334 show)

Note from the Author or Editor:
Please make the change indicated.

The last sentence VM-1 has.. must be VM-3 has..

Note from the Author or Editor:
Good catch, thanks. Last bullet on p.351 should start "VM-3 has..."

it can NOT be connected to a wireless network adapter

Note from the Author or Editor:
Thanks for catching this. On page 357 Lesson 2 answer D for question 1 should read "Correct: Virtual switches on a Hyper-V host cannot be connected..."

Here three "Correct" answers are given, A, B and C.
But the question on page 338 asks "What is the reason for this error?", and not "What are the possible reasons...", thus indicating 1 single correct answer.

The given error output in the question on page 338 shows, ":$True" (Boolean value) as invalid for use with the "-DhcpGuard" parameter. Therefore the only correct answer to this question is answer D.

Please adjust Incorrect answers A, B, and C. explanations also accordingly to match the question.

And typo in answer B: parameter "VMNetworkAdapter" should read "-VMNetworkAdapterName"

Note from the Author or Editor:
page 358 lesson 2 question 4, the correct answer should be D.

Change the answer list lead-ins to read Incorrect, Incorrect, Incorrect, Correct.

In answer B change VMNetworkAdapter to VMNetworkAdapterName

Question 2 part C. "The computer management snap-in." I believe this is a mistake, and should have read: "The Disk Management snap-in." See page 365 TOP "Important", the three bullets.

Therefore, the answers on page 425, question 2 part C. is also incorrect.

Note from the Author or Editor:
page 376 question 2 option C should read "The Disk Management snap-in"

page 425 lesson 1 question 2 option C should read "Correct: The Disk Management..."

"For example, if you specify Archive Share as the name for the new share being created on the E volume, the following local folder will be created for the new share:
E:\Shares\Archive Folder"

If the name you specify is Archive Share, then the folder created would be E:\Shares\Archive Share, not Archive Folder

"Select volume M in the..." should read "Select volume W in the..."

Note from the Author or Editor:
Please make the change indicated

Same as with Step 57. The tekst should read: "... \\HOST7\Simple Share ..."

Note from the Author or Editor:
Please change \\HOST7 to \\HOST4 in steps 57 and 59 of page 422

The URL to find out more information on deprecated features is wrong and leads to a 404.

The books lists the URL as: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh831568

That URL is incomplete and should in fact be: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh831568.aspx

change tekst "Right-clicking on the Printers node..."to "Richt-clicking on the Print Servers node..." (see question 2.B. on page 449)

Note from the Author or Editor:
Please make the change indicated.

Change text "A rule that specifies how incoming..." to "A rule that specifies how outgoing..."

Note from the Author or Editor:
Please make the change indicated.

All bullets have the same contradicting and incorrect explanation. For example AES-GCM can be used only with quick mode. See also: http://technet.microsoft.com/nl-nl/library/dd125356(v=ws.10).aspx
Please rectify text.

Note from the Author or Editor:
Ugh. Please correct as follows: for all bullets on page 547 that start with "AES-" and also for the bullet at the top of the page on 548, the first sentence after the lead-in should read "This algorithm can be used for quick mode only and is supported on Windows Vista SP1 and later."
