Errata

Hello there,
The error concerning in both cases the wording "Control Panel ":
1. Page 60, last paragraph, it is written "of the Control Panel comes from" but it should be "of the Device Manager comes from"
2. Page 61, first paragraph, it is written "previously, the Control Panel hides many" but it should be "previously, the Device Manager hides many"

Thank you and I hope I was of some help.
Keep up the good work and Regards.

"computers all have less than 3 TB of installed RAM" should read as "less than 3 GB"

States that USMT is part of MDT. USMT is provided in the ADK, not MDT.

The book references that USMT is provided as part of MDT. It's actually part of the ADK, not MDT.

The ADK (or AIK) is required for MDT, but MDT is not required to use the ADK.

This is I think is a bug in the book: page 79 under the title ?Set Program Access And Computer Defaults option?, second sentence ?In some ways this option is similar to the Set Your Default Programs option, except that its windows isn?t as well featured?. I don?t believe that the two options are similar, not by look and not by functions. Because the option one ?Set Your Default Programs option? will set associations of files to programs, while the second option ?Set Program Access And Computer Defaults option? is to choose a program for a certain function or deactivate a program function.

However and in general I am a fan of this book. Keep up the good work.

Type import-module.appx. it does not work with out additional actions as follow:
1. Start the power Shell as Administrator
2. First run "update-help" enable to have access to the latest help (this is not a must but if you want the help for this command and many others then yes it is)
3. write import-module without ".appx"

Then is works and you also have access to the help for this command by typing help import-module.

Keep up the good work.

It is written "3. In the next screen that appears should be a Sync licences button (see figure 2-29).". It should be "3. In the next screen that appears, and if you already signed in using Microsoft account, should be a Sync licenses button, otherwise you have to sign in first and then the Sync Licenses button will appear (see figure 2-29).

Good job, keep up the good work. That is one big book.

Under number 1. you wrote C, it should be A and C
number A. you wrote "A. Incorrect: You cannot access the Group Policy Editor from the Control Panel in Windows 8" is wrong. Yes you can access the Group Policy editor from the Control Panel, it is located under Administrative Tools, however it is not accessible from the Administrative Tools.

The Security Policy editor is not accessible from the Control Panel but it is accessible from the Administrative Tools.

Minor mix up. Keep up the good work

The book has an incorrect answer for one of the Objective Review questions in Chapter 3.1 question 1.
According to the answer guide answer C is the correct answer, however, answer C has 172.0.8.0 as being a valid Class B private IPv4 address.
That is incorrect, only 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 are valid for Class B private addresses. And with that not being a valid private address, actually none of the answers provided are correct for the question.

Book says that for NFC there is no configurable option. This is inacurate. If a device has NFC, you can go to Settings > Change PC settings > Wireless > Turn the NFC on/off (same for GNSS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and 3G)

Objective Review 6.1 question 2 states that you would use answer C
"net start wuauserv" in order to "restart" the Windows automatic updating feature. In the answer explanation it states it will "start" the desired service, but the question was to "restart" the service.

The numbering for Chapter 7 Object Review 7.1 answers appear to be incorrectly numbered. For example, what should be the answer information for question 1 is numbered 4, what should be 2 is 5, 3 is 6 and 4 is 7.
