I had time to check this book out at a local place. I think it looks very good and I am planning on buying it. I did not think the exchange 2010 unleashed book holds up to the unleashed name, but this one does.

A must read if you are a systems engineer/administrator. The book covers everything from migration, in-place/parallel upgrade, etc. You won’t regret it.

These books are getting bigger and bigger every year. This one is great that it’s hardcover, at over 1500 pages, I’ve had soft cover books fall apart on me quickly. This book on Windows 2008 R2 covers everything, from DirectAcces (GREAT coverage!!!) to migrating to Windows 2008 R2 to Remote Desktop Services to Clustering and more. I haven’t gotten through the entire book yet, but what I’ve jumped to so far has been solid!

As usual we are always expected to know the new stuff and support it but no one wants to ever pay for training so what to do? I did a lot of scouring for a good server 08R2 book and it was slim pickings. Most books were out of date (R1) or simply geared toward studying for a test which does me little good in defining an AD upgrade road map and figuring out what to define for app server standards. I finally found this on amazon and relying on reviews and the TOC i opted to get it. Its a fantastic resource but huge so expect to be doing some serious reading. What I loved is that right off they talk about what is new in R2. This is a big help. Lets get features out of the way immediately. The rest of the book is structured logically but is easy to jump around in since life does not follow a table of contents. I strongly recommed this if you support windows servers in a real world environment. If you are looking to take an MCSE test, then stick to the exam cram for those since this will be way over kill for you more than likely. A+ to the authors.
