Customer Reviews: Read 7 more reviews... Very Detailed, Just what I wanted June 18, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful Just what I needed. Setup the Vista deployment test center and all is well. Just the correct amount of details. Handy resource February 24, 2008 0 out of 2 found this review helpful This resource kit isn't exactly the kind of book you sit down and read cover to cover, but it's always handy to have around. I refer to it regularly. Well done. Windows Vista Resource Kit January 18, 2008 2 out of 4 found this review helpful The book is extremely detailed and technical. However, everything is in it. The book is best used by those who have used and are familiar with XP. I haven't yet checked out the CD that comes with the book. Excellent reference, could use a proofread October 29, 2007 5 out of 5 found this review helpful This resource kit is very informative, but I've never seen a book with so many typographical errors. Fortunately, almost all of the errors are not material in that they do not affect the accuracy of the content. But the book should have undergone a proofreading or at least a comprehensive spelling/grammar check. Typo issues aside, the book is a very useful resource. The coverage of Vista's new (file) image-based deployment is comprehensive. Changes such as KMS (for licensing), admx (for Group Policy), file/registry virtualization (under UAC and IE Protected Mode), and BCD (replaces boot.ini) are discussed. Key additions to the collection of Group Policy objects are highlighted. And, of course, there is a lot of trivia-type information that, though interesting, may not find actual day-to-day use. The resource kit tools are focused mainly on enterprise deployment and scripting. If you are looking for the types of tools included with previous Windows resource kits, you will be disappointed. For experienced Users August 23, 2007 3 out of 3 found this review helpful Perfect reference manual for the experienced IT person. As always, Microsoft has kept up the quality of their Resource Kits. Beginners, or light users, this book is not for you. It is not a learning tool, rather it is a wonderful, complete, reference guide.
