2 stars really, I give it 3 so people might actually read the review instead of discarding it as an outlier or statistically insignificant. I purchased this book because of the awesome reviews such as "the only book you need to Master 2012....."I found this NOT to be the case. There are many typos including typos in scripts, really frustrating if you are not already a vbscript / PowerShell expert that can catch the syntax errors on first sight. By the way I have the physical book and the ebook, and its not formatting errors in publishing that were the issue with scripts, it was actually syntax errors in the example scripts. After 4 hours of wrestling with WinRm or image files and then realizing at midnight it's bad script examples in this book....well....pretty frustrating. It's like my Calc 2 class that was taught by a first year grad student.....you really want your money back, it's really disappointing, you are not getting what you paid for.I found the book disjointed and not ...contiguous. It seems to me that it was written and published in a hurry and it leaves out a lot of detail that, if you are purchasing this book, you will want. There are entire paragraphs that are duplicated back to back, major editing and publishing errors, and it has not been edited for technical accuracy. In addition, like other reviewers have said, the book is not up to date with 2012-R2 technology!!! The authors say as much, they tell you they were half way through writing it for 2012 before they were told to change it to include 2012R2.There is a big disconnect between details in this book on a particular topic and the questions you will get on the 70-410 and 70-411.
Since Windows 2003, when I study MCSE or Windows Server, This is the only book I go and pick up, never look at other books. There is very unique style of Mark Minasi's book, which other books don't dare to. He simply puts everything you have to know about Windows Server, but don't make it complicate. You can just read from page 1 to the end without sitting with your PC to try because it has all the screen shots for step-by-step, but also doesn't miss to go deeper to the subject either.But this time, I worried how he would put everything, step-by-step, GUI, Powershell all together in one book, it never disappointed throughout the book.This is the only single book you would ever need to master windows 2012. Some subjects are left, but it guides you how to start studying more about it. It's not like other books I read, 'ok I'm tired, have no paper to put all, probably it's going to be another book to cover'. He covers as much as he can from beginning to end, then if you ever need more detail depending on your interest of subject, you can start researching based on his recommendation point.The book is organized very well;1st part, he explains the technology, why we need it, what it does, whether it's new or upgraded, sometimes history from the origin,2nd part is a summary of step-by-step ordered list, usually 3-5 steps, what you should do to implement in a big picture,then 3rd part is, more detailed actual step-by-step. This is really good breakdown of step-by-step to two parts. Sometimes, even though you follow step-by-step, after you finish it, you easily can't remember the big picture of what you have done because it's too many steps, your memory is limited.
