5.0 out of 5 starsFull of Golden Nuggets
By B.H. on March 4, 2016
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Despite what other reviewers have said I really enjoyed this book. The title says it, FUNDAMENTALS, meaning the base with which you build upon. Over the years, doing Windows deployments, I always end up looking at the blogs or reading the books from one or both of these authors. This book, and all the previous books in their series, teach about a system of deployment which, when implemented, is easily modified and optimized for any environment of almost any size. To realize that system of deployment you must see through the step by step processes defined in the book to what they are trying to accomplish, which is teaching the reader about a dynamic windows deployment method. They then give you everything, except the hardware, to build it.

This book clearly lays out the options for deploying Windows 10 in an enterprise network. [and so much more]

Powershell is your friend. The PS scripts available with the book are designed to get your test environment (everyone should have one) up and running quickly. The PS scripts are a fully tested and implemented model from which you can develop your own automation processes surrounding windows deployments to suit your or any environment. The PS scripts are easy to read and are clear in what they do. They are also part of the learning model in the book. If you are not using powershell today as a windows client admin, you should be. Whether you are new to IT or have been doing IT for a long time, powershell is the future in windows management so don't get left behind.

1.0 out of 5 starsNeedless to say, my money has already been refunded..
By Calrissian on February 18, 2016
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Wow, where do I even start?
First off, I am aware Johan Arwidmark is considered THE guru of deployment, and this book certainly illustrates that HE knows his stuff. However, this book teaches you none of that.

From the very beginning, the author has you download a pack of pre-made deployment scripts. Actually, he never actually tells you to do so he just tells you to start using them, you have to locate the Appendix A in the back of the book to realize where they come from and how to implement them. The rest of the book is essentially a tutorial on using Johan's scripts with no explanation on what they're doing. Learning Deployment in this way is somewhat similar to learning to paint by doing one of those numbered connect-the-dots drawings you find in the comic section of the Sunday newspaper.

The deployment scripts, aside from taking all of the education out of this book, aren't even updated. The client machines in the lab are still Windows 7! This entire book actually, while claiming to be updated for Server 2012 R2 and Windows 10, seems like it has been brushed with vaguely updated references using a wide tooth yard rake to collect any deprecated material. There is an entire chapter on deploying Office CTR, which is then copy and pasted into a section of the chapter thereafter. Oh there's also an Appendix B which is, again, how to deploy Office!

Tl;dr:
Out of this entire book, there is potentially enough educational content to make a 10 page PDF. The rest is Simon Says without any explanation, in a way that sidesteps teaching you deployment fundamentals like creating application packages and, testing task sequences, etc.

At best, this is a very abridged glossary of deployment terms.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsBest book I found about MDT
By Carlos on December 8, 2016
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
I own all the Deployment Fundamentals books and to be honest, I found this books teach you all you need to know to get the job done. Personally, I needed to learn MDT in less than 2 months. Before coming across Johan's books I purchased 8 different books including Microsoft Windows 7 which briefly talks about MDT (it only has one chapter on MDT). I purchase the Deployment Fundamentals and it really enjoyed the book. These books are targeted for professionals that need a crash course on MDT. I found scripts useful to quickly create a lab and a working environment. I created an environment in the past and took me days (Install OS, patches, configuration, etc). I find the script useful in which I can create a test environment and start testing.

By Ali Marable on May 18, 2016
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
I've found the book to be great. I have been a long time fan of both Johan and Mikael's work. What I most enjoy about the book is that it cuts to the chase. Instead of pages and pages of theory and background it dives right in! It takes you step by step through setting up the various items and explains what and why you're doing the steps. My book is full of yellow post-it notes sticking out marking pages for me to follow up on. I've had the book for months and I still am finding new things to dig in to.

Today I finally had the chance to shake their hands (and get my book signed) and thank them for all of the knowledge that they have shared through this book as well as the others they have written.

By Tom Callanan on November 20, 2016

As other reviewers have pointed out, rather than explain HOW MDT works, you get a series of scripts to create the environment, without actually knowing what most of them do. Buy the digital version, in order to get the scripts, but you will feel ripped off if you invest in the book, just to get them.

4.0 out of 5 starsHelpful MDT book
By Sam24and48 on April 21, 2016
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
I bought the kindle version of the book to help us to get MDT set up at work and begin utilizing it for images for all of our windows 10 machines. It does rely fairly heavily on the scripts that they provide from one of their websites. However there is still enough information in the book to allow you to understand the process of setting it up. I would say 75% of the scripts are used to help automate some of the more mundane and time consuming tasks. As for myself I didn't use them as I wanted to see how each individual setting was done in the gui so that I have a knowledge of how to do it for any one off additions in the future. I also noticed there are some Microsoft technet articles that are EXTREMELY similiar to the book almost down to the notes. However the book was more up to date on Office 2016 and Windows 10 whereas the articles were still dealing with 2013 and Windows 8 (and there are some big differences there). All in all I think for 10 dollars it was helpful in giving me a reference to walk me through setup and answer a lot of the questions I had during set up. I don't know however that I would spend more than that for the hard cover edition.
