The second bullet point states:
"Schedule the deployment of Windows Server 2008 R2 using operating systems and WDS."

What exactly does 'using operating systems' mean?

Perhaps the sentence should be "Schedule the deployment of Windows Server 2008 R2 operating systems using WDS."?

B. Configure a special IPv6 DHCP scope for PXE clients.
C. Configure a special IPv6 DHCP scope for PXE clients.

Last sentence

The sentence "In addition, note that the site-local address still exists, but it is displayed as deprecated, as discussed earlier in this session" is incorrect. The addresses in Fig 2-5, to which this refers, are link-local addresses not site-local.

Also, deprecated, in this instance, is in reference to the DAD state, i.e. Tentative, Preferred, Deprecated and Invalid, rather than the status of the site-local address type.

Note from the Author or Editor:
On reflection the sentence "In addition, note that the site-local address still exists, but it is displayed as deprecated, as discussed earlier in this session" at the end of page 55 isn't needed and might be confusing. Please delete this sentence.

Exercise 2, step 7

Step 7 of Exercise gives the following command: add address "isatap" fec0:0:0:fffe:0:5efe:10.10.0.50
However, if you have set up VAN-DC1 according to the instructions in the Appendix, its IPv4 address is 10.10.0.10, so the command should be: add address "isatap" fec0:0:0:fffe:0:5efe:10.10.0.10

Note from the Author or Editor:

PDF says "Microsoft applies Group Policy objects (GPOs) to groups rather than OUs because groups
offer better flexibility for managing various sets of users."
Lesson is talking about Password Settings Objects (PSOs) so I think this should say "Microsoft applies Password Settings Objects (PSOs) to groups rather than OUs because groups
offer better flexibility for managing various sets of users."
GPOs ARE applied to OUs.

Question nr. 3

In question nr. 3 on page 198 the body of the question says that we are trying to find policy settings with the term "Internet Settings" in the Comment field.

However, the answer on page 657 indicates that option D ("In the Filter For Word(s) section, type Internet Explorer and select Exact.") is one of the correct options.

In fact, in the answer it makes no mention of "Internet Settings" but mentions the term 'Internet Explorer' twice (in options B & D). So which term are we really trying to find?

Note from the Author or Editor:
In question 3 on page 198 please replace "internet Settings" with "Internet Explorer"

On page 242, after the instructions on how to set up a collector-initiated subscription, the first paragraph starts with "You configure collector-initiated subscriptions..." Shouldn't it be "You configure computer-initiated subscriptions..."?

Note from the Author or Editor:
There is an error but it's not what the reader says. In the second sentence of the indicated paragraph 'computer-initiated' should be 'collector-initiated'. "In a source computer?initiated subscription,
the computers that generate the events......" should read "In a source collector?initiated subscription, the computers that generate the events..."

Appendix A

Appendix A Exercise 4 Step 3 has the instructions to set the static IP address of 10.10.0.21 to a server computer named VAN-SRV2

Appendix A Exercise 5 Step 3 has the instructions to set the static IP address of 10.10.0.21 to a client computer named VAN-CL1

The same static IP address is used twice. I foresee this causing DNS issues.

Appendix A Exercise 5

Appendix A Exercise 5 Step 4 has the command to rename Windows 7 client comptuer as follows:

netdom renamecomputer %computername% /newname:VAN-CL1


Appendix A Exercise 5 Step 6 has the command to join a Windows 7 client comptuer to the domain as follows:

netdom join VAN-CL1 /domain:adatum

Netdom is NOT included with Windows 7 by default and the command will fail. It can be added with the Remote Server Administration Tools.

Really though the book should use the powershell command Add-Computer instead.

Note from the Author or Editor:
The following modifications are to be made to Exercise 5 in the Appendix:

Add the following to Step 3 after the comand "netsh interface ..."

netsh interface ipv4 set dnsservers "Local Area Connection" static 10.10.0.10 primary

Change Step 4 to the following

Hold down the Windows Key and the Break Key to open the System Properties dialog box. Click Advanced System Settings. On the Computer Name tab click Change. In the Computer Name textbox enter VAN-CL1. Click OK.

Change Step 6 to the following

Hold down the Windows Key and the Break Key to open the System Properties dialog box. Click Advanced System Settings. On the Computer Name tab click Change. In the Domain textbox enter ADATUM. When prompted, enter the Administrator account credentials.
