Printed	Page 57 last paragraph last sentence	The sentence can be interpreted in more than one way. Wife: "Go and get a bottle of milk. And if there are eggs, bring a dozen." Husband returns with a dozen bottles of milk. Husband: "There were eggs."	Zoltan Erszenyi	Sep 23, 2013
Printed, PDF	Page 63 Objective review - Question 1	On page 59, it says that Hyper-V only uses Smart Paging, when all of the following are true: - The VM is being restarted - There is no available physical memory - No memory can be reclaimed from other VMs running on the host. The correct answer on question 1 is B - Increase the Minimum Memory settings on VM1. How can this be the correct answer? Hyper-V only uses Smart Paging when there is no available physical memory on the host and no memory can be reclaimed from other VMs on the host... Therefore to change the minimum memory settings on VM1 can not solve the issue because there is no physical memory available on the host and no memory can be reclaimed from other VMs.	Carl-Marius Steensen	Feb 18, 2014
Printed	Page 87 1st paragraph	On page 71, Q3 states that all guest VMs are running Windows Server 2008 R2. Answer C of Objective 3.2, Q3, incorrectly states that the guest VMs have to be upgraded to Windows Server 2012. It contradicts the last sentence on page 69: "The guest has to be running Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, or Windows Server 2012" as well as the 4th bullet point under "Requirements" at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh831413.aspx.

Printed	Page 97 Middle of the page	"Setting the site name to Houston (-SiteName Houston)" should actually read "Specify the name of an existing site where you can place the new domain controller (-SiteName Houston)" according to the cmdlet's link here http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh974715.aspx.

Printed	Page 109 2nd paragraph	"To enable metering, use the Measure-VMResourcePool cmdlet." However metering was enabled previously using Enable-VMResourceMetering, so the text should read "To display usage data, use the Measure-VMResourcePool cmdlet".	Mihai Albert	Aug 09, 2013
Printed	Page 164 Prerequisites for cloning	The book states that the host running Hyper-V must be Windows Server 2012. This statement may suggest that domain controller cloning is an exclusive feature of Hyper-V hypervisors. However any hypervisor can be used as long as it supports the VM-Generation-ID attribute, as stated in the TechNet article at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh831734.aspx#steps_deploy_vdc. At the time the book went to print Hyper-V might have been the only hypervisor, however now VMware and Citrix also support it.	Zoltan Erszenyi	Oct 09, 2013
Printed	Page 176 Bottom of the page	In the last example on page 176, a cmdlet to retrieve all users whose canonical name is like "Jorge" is presented: Get-ADObject -Filter { CN -like "Jorge" } -IncludeDeletedObjects \| Restore-ADObject Perhaps this was the intended purpose, but usually the -like operator is used with wildcard patterns - in its actual form, the filter is actually equivalent to { CN -eq "Jorge" }	Mihai Albert	May 19, 2013

This cannot be correct for in order to accomplish the goal outlined in the question of "no other users are allowed any access", ntfs and share permissions allowing everyone full control must be removed. DAC does not override NTFS, DAC complements NTFS, most restrictive permission for the authenticated user wins.	Anonymous	Oct 15, 2013

Printed	Page 288 Bullet 3	"3. Choose Replication VHDs page By default, all virtual hard disks (VHDs) attached to the VM are enabled for replication. You can use this page to deselect any VMs that you don't want to be replicated." The list corresponding to this step contains only VHDs, therefore "deselect any VMs" should be changed to "deselect any VHDs".	Mihai Albert	Aug 19, 2013
