Chapter 1
Chapter 1 - p. 3 should read Trusts between Active Directory domains in a forest are created automatically when you create domains in Windows Server 2008. These are called transitive trusts. In Windows NT domains prior to Windows 2000, administrators created all trusts manually. Pg. 8, Step 5 should read: Enter your product key if you have one and are required to enter the key. You can install Windows Server 2008 without a product key.

Pg. 46 Should Read: Out-of-Box Experience The most common cleanup action with Sysprep is to use the system OOBE when generalizing images. This combination will remove the computer security identifier (SID), reset the computer activation, and boot the computer into Windows Welcome. Pg. 50 title should read: Installing Windows Server 2008 Pg. 50 should read: This section explores the three installation methods available for Windows Server 2008. Each of the following methods has a purpose and place within a network: DVD/USB boot installation Network distribution share installation Image-based installation DVD/USB Boot Installation Probably the most familiar of the installation methods is using physical installation media. Windows Server 2008 can be installed via optical drive (that is a DVD drive) or via USB flash drive. This type of installation is called a DVD boot installation and is the most common media-based type. Installing with a USB flash drive is new and not yet as popular as using a DVD. However, with the advent of USB 2.0 and servers that can boot from the drives in their USB ports, USB flash drives are the perfect media for installing Windows Server 2008. Whether using optical or flash

media, this installation method requires you to be present at the server. Activity 1-1, where you installed Windows Server 2008, is an example of a DVD installation. Page 52 Activity 2-4 should read: 1. Log onto your server. 2. Click Start, type Windows PE Command Prompt in the Start Search box. When it Windows PE Command Prompt appears, select it and press enter to launch. 3. Type md c:\MCTS_70642\Ch2\ImageFolder and then press Enter to create a new directory called ImageFolder in the folder created for this chapter. This represents a distribution point to contain the .wim file created with ImageX. 4. Change to the directory containing ImageX by using the following cd command: cd \Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\x86\ 5. Next, run the following ImageX command to create an image of the c:\windows\fonts direc tory from the command prompt: imagex /capture c:\Windows\fonts c:\MCTS_70642\Ch2\imagefolder\Server2008Fonts.wim All Installed Fonts 6. Leave the command prompt window open for the next exercise. Pg 53 should read: Consider an example of this command: imagex /mount c:\Images\Server2008.wim Standard c:\imagefolder\ In this command, you are using ImageX to mount the image named Standard from the Server2008.wim file to c:\imagefolder\. Remember that the image is read-only. If you want to write to this image, use /mountrw instead of /mount, as shown in the following command: imagex /mountrw c:\Images\Server2008.wim Standard_RW c:\imagefolder\

Pg 53 Activity 2-5 should read: 1. Open the Windows PE Command Prompt from the start menu, if necessary.

2.

Type md c:\MCTS_70642\Ch2\ImageMountFolder to create a new directory called ImageMountFolder. This is the mount point for your image within the file system.

3. Next, run the following ImageX command to mount the image Server2008Fonts.wim to the c:\MCTS_40642\Ch2\ImageMountFolder directory from the command prompt: imagex /mount c:\MCTS_70642\Ch2\imagefolder\Server2008fonts.wim All Installed Ionts c:\MCTS_70642\Ch2\imagemountfolder 4. Open Windows Explorer and browse to c:\MCTS_70642\Ch2\ImageMountFolder.5. Create a file named Server2008SuperFont.txt by right-clicking a blank spot in the folder window, pointing to New on the shortcut menu, and then clicking Text Document. Use Server2008SuperFont.txt as the file name. Note that access is denied because you did not mount the image as read/write. 5. Before mounting the image as read/write, unmount the current image as follows: imagex /unmount c:\MCTS_70642\Ch2\imagemountfolder 6. Rerun the ImageX command as follows using the /mountrw option: imagex /mountrw c:\MCTS_70642\Ch2\imagefolder\Server2008fonts.wim All Installed Fonts c:\MCTS_70642\Ch2\imagemountfolder 7. Create a file named Server2008SuperFont.txt and leave Windows Explorer open. This time you should be successful. 8. Commit and dismount the image using the following command: imagex /unmount /commit c:\MCTS_70642\Ch2\imagemountfolder 9. In your Windows Explorer window, press F5 to refresh the screen. You should no longer have any files listed in c:\MCTS_70642\Ch2\ImageMountFolder. 10. Close the Command Prompt. Pg. 54 step 9 should read: Imagex /mountrw c:\MCTS_70642\Ch2\imagefolder\Server2008fonts.wim all installed fonts C:\MCTS_70642\Ch2\imagemountfolder Pg 61, Paragraph 1 should read: There is no way to upgrade from a previous version of the Windows Server operating system to a Server Core installation.

Chapter 3
Pg. 83 Should read: Network Bridges Network bridges connect one or more networks segments. Like a switch, a bridge uses MAC addresses for managing traffic. A bridge learns from the traffic it processes, so it can associate a port with the specific MAC address to which it is connected. After the bridge associates a port and an address, it sends traffic for that address only to that port. This creates more efficient traffic on the network. Bridges work on the Layer 2 of the OSI model.

Pg 83 should read: The Data Link layer is responsible for communications between adjacent network nodes. Bridges and switches operate at the Data Link layer.
