3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointment, December 16, 2008

By	Stan Czerno (Pearl River, LA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you are looking for advanced techniques, this is not the book.

If you are looking for what management wants to hear, this is the book.

If you are a newb, this is the book.

1.0 out of 5 stars expected much more ...., January 6, 2009

By	damiri (Tuzla, BA) - See all my reviews

Hi,

I received this book with great expectation since it i stated as "The Official Guide". However, this is "The Official Guide" if you are planning to sell Citrix solution to your management or your client. It shares a little of technical inside info what I was expecting. So I recommend this book for sales people (internal or external), not to system administration guys who would expect some best practices while deploying these type of solutions ...

Best,

Damir

This product came to me exactly as advertised and showed up in short order. I'd call it a very good transaction.
