Startup.exe should be Setup.exe One of the Readiness Review assessment questions contains an answer with an incorrect filename. The question reads: "You are the systems administrator for a small business. You need to upgrade a computer manually from Windows XP to Windows Vista, without losing the user's files and settings. What is the most efficient process?" The first answer contains a reference to "Startup.exe" rather than "Setup.exe". Change: "Start Windows XP. Then, run Startup.exe from the Windows Vista product DVD." To: "Start Windows XP. Then, run Setup.exe from the Windows Vista product DVD." The Explanation contains the same incorrect reference. Change: "You can upgrade Windows XP to Windows Vista by starting Windows XP and running Startup.exe from the Windows Vista product DVD." To: "You can upgrade Windows XP to Windows Vista by starting Windows XP and running Setup.exe from the Windows Vista product DVD."

"Windows Vista" should be "Windows XP" On page 169, the second sentence in the 3rd paragraph under the Protected Mode heading incorrectly uses Windows Vista instead of Windows XP.

To: "If a website exploits a vulnerability in Windows XP that hasn’t been fixed with an update and successfully launches a process to install spyware, the spyware installation process would have full administrator privileges to the local computer."

"XImage" should be "ImageX"

Change:



"Integrate updates into Windows Vista setup files If you use an automatic deployment technology such as the Microsoft Solution Accelerator for Business Desktop Deployment 2007 (BDD), you can ensure that updates are present during setup by installing Windows Vista and all updates on a lab computer and then using Windows PE and the XImage tool to create an operating system image (a .wim file) that you can deploy to new computers."

Answer C explanation is incorrect On page 552, the explanation to Answer C of Question 3 needs to be changed to reflect the corrected question on page 407. Change: "C. Incorrect: Ping tests connectivity to a remote host. Although you could try pinging your Domain Name System (DNS) server, that wouldn’t tell you whether you were able to successfully resolve hostnames." To: "C. Incorrect: Although Ping can be used to determine if a connectivity problem is related to name resolution, it does not provide as much information as Nslookup does and is therefore not the best tool to use in this scenario."
