Ebook: Mastering System Center Configuration Manager 2007 R2

If you change the title of the book, then there's not much to complain about. The book does a pretty good job of getting the SCCM beginner up and running from scratch. By the end of the book, you will have all the major points: Installing or upgrading to SCCM 2007, distributing software, deploying OS, and reporting.

That said, you won't be a grandmaster SCCM third degree blackbelt with trophies. If you keep the aim of this book in perspective and don't get upset at a title that was most likely chosen for marketting purposes, then give this one a shot. If you already know how to use then main features of SCCM, then skip this book for sure and look elsewhere.

I give it 4 stars because when I started reading the book I knew very little about SCCM and now that I'm done, I can perform all the major functions, yet I do not consider myself an expert. My only complaint is more against Microsoft in that at the time of this writing, there are no self-study preparating guides written specifically for passing the SCCM exam and no one else has stepped in and filled this gap. Meanwhile, braindumps are all over the internet with all the exam answers for a nominal fee.
