A nice follow up from the Windwos 2003 version. A must read for those planning to upgrade those security servers...

this book provides comprehensive overview on new Windows 2008 Certificate Services. Book has been written in best traditions in continue to Win 2003 Certificate Services. I would recommend it to every IT staff involved on any security or/and PKI projects, this book is really useful guide. Brian, thank you!

This is one of the best technical (PKI or non PKI) books I layed my hands on

1- it is straight to the point, no sales kind of talk
2- it is very practical, you can apply almost verything in it, from troubleshooting, to upgrading etc.
3- it is very detailed (in PKI, details do matter)
4- it is comprehensive

I hope this helps

It is a good book, very helpful. I don't think you can implement this any other way other than getting this book. Google fails, book wins.

Watch typo on page 134-135. They have Period and Unit parameters reversed in this section.

This book is the best reference for Windows PKI, even if you are deployng Windows 2003 PKI. If you have started to look into PKI, this is the book YOU MUST HAVE. Thanks to Brian Komar.

This book is definitely a must have for anyone who plans to deploy a Windows 2008 (or even 2003) based Certificate Authority/PKI infrastructure. The author not only fully masters the subject, he also has found the rare balance between the necessary theory, legal aspects, discussing design aspects and diving into technical information. On top of that, the book contains an awful lot of real life scenario's and implementation examples.
So before you even start installing AD CS, read this book. You won't be disappointed.

This book is a significant and very worthwhile update on the 2003 version. The new edition is considerably larger than the previous one and covers the new features of Windows Server 2008 PKI including the new Advanced Cryptography Support (Suite B), OCSP and SCEP (among others).
The book also includes details of the Microsoft Certificate Lifecycle Manager (CLM/ILM 2007) product.
This book is the best reference for Windows PKI.
