I'm just happy after reading the thread title that you didn't post a link to the Bible. Talk about awkward.

P.S. No, haven't read that.

Sounds like it would be a decent reference.

Too often training materials pretend that you have all 03/XP or all 08/Vista or all 08R2/7 stuff and that there is no mix.

In reality basically every company is hodge podge and much more difficult to manage because of it.
