Go buy the new edition, all the cool people are doing it! ;-)
But seriously, folks, there's some pretty nice changes in existing content as well as a bunch of new stuffs. We tried to add at least a handful of new recipes in each chapter, as well as updating the existing recipes with command-line stuff (lots of adfind/admod) as well as fixing various errata. The new content is a chapter on Exchange (mostly courtesty of joe), a chapter on MIIS from Gil Kirkpatrick and Steven Plank, and a chapter each on ADAM, ADFS, and the new File/Print stuff in R2. I for one think that it's a substantial update to the already-wonderful 1st Edition. Robbie found me a wonderful group of reviewers - joe and Al Mulnick in particular kicked my butt from here into next week during the TR process. Also much good help from TonyM, RBuike and Rick Kingslan, and Darren Mar-elia kept us all honest on the Group Policy chapter. So anyway. Go buy it so that I can afford that new yacht I've been eyeing up lately. ;-) - Laura On 6/14/06, joe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Laura will have to stop by and explain what has really changed. However I know that the chapter I wrote for the Windows Server Cookbook for Exchange tasks got pulled into it and extended (and probably some corrections as well). That same chapter went into AD3E as well but I trimmed it down considerably for AD3E as the format didn't fit right. Obviously it fit perfectly for the AD Cookbook. I believe there is an ADAM chapter now. I am sure some errata got input as well as issues I and probably others found on the second pass that we didn't find on the first or maybe we did find on the first but for some reason or another didn't make it into the final. (that never happens <smirk>) Ummm I know Laura added a ton of adfind/admod examples because she would write me an email every week with a list of questions for the week and I would respond to it for her. Plus if I saw places it could be added in the chapters themselves I put in notes for her. Sheeoot. I used to know what was changed as I reviewed the darn thing and was doing Word compares between the chapters but I'll be darned if I can recall everything now... I must be gettin' old. I recall Laura was really busting ass on it. -- O'Reilly Active Directory Third Edition - http://www.joeware.net/win/ad3e.htm ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Parris Sent: Wednesday, June 14, 2006 7:10 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Active Directory Cookbook 2e To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Active Directory Cookbook 2e I have had a look at the O'Reilly website and cannot see what the differences between the 1st and 2nd editions are. Is it Errata or new content? So I am now wondering – why should I buy this, apart from the Authors and the Blue Fin Tuna on the front? ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tony Murray Sent: 14 June 2006 06:19 To: [email protected] Subject: [ActiveDir] Active Directory Cookbook 2e …is now out. http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/activedckbk2/ TonyThis communication, including any attachments, is confidential.
