4.0 out of 5 starsStill good - years later
By Jase T. Wolfe on January 18, 2006
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I write this review partially evaluating the information it contains, but also how it has held up over time. This book came out in late 2003 and it is now early 2006. A successor to Windows XP is already known, but that doesn't mean that Windows XP is on the way out or that companies will not just now be deploying that OS either for the first time, or redeploying as a refresh to encompass service packs, hotfixes and larger updated application suites, such as Microsoft Office. In short, a competent title covering the deployment of XP is still needed.

In short, everything you need to know about preparing Windows XP for deployment using the Microsoft approved and supported tools and methods is found inside. The authors cover in-depth the planning one should take within the environment to configure, deploy, and manage a desktop. You are instructed on the proper way to prepare the desktop for mass distribution, configure and run the utilities to ensure that the final OS image is not deployed duplicating network identification data, as well as running user state migration to transfer settings between builds. Distribution technologies, such as RIS and SMS are covered, although any commonly used third party utility, such as Symantec Ghost is not. There are also chapters dedicated to reviewing service pack and hotfix management, group policy management, as well as software updates (to Microsoft products, such as Microsoft Office 2003). And lastly, you are given a few different syntax guides to such things as SysPrep and Administrative Templates.

I believe, however, that this title could use a second edition. Even when it was released, some of the services covered were on their way out, and two years later, entire chapters of this book are now useless for many.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsThe right tool for Desktop Deployment
By Evonne Reams on February 24, 2005
Format: Paperback
If you are planning a massive desktop deployment than this is book you should use. I had no previous experience in doing an unattended install and this book walked me through the entire process following the distribution sample provided in Chapter 7. Mr. Honeycutt has left no stone unturned. His book gives you in-depth technical information and tools to deploy and manage Microsoft Windows XP Desktop. With it, you get prescriptive guidance to help choose the best deployment method and tools for common scenarios; perform attended and unattended installations; automate the deployment process, control policy and profile settings for desktop operating systems and applications; automate deployments for Office and other programs; and more. The book comes with a CDROM containing extra documentation, tools, sample templates, and scripts. Just add your Windows XP I386 files and half the battle is done. This is a great book and well written. Thanks Jerry for writing something for my simple mind!

5.0 out of 5 starsIf planning deployment, this book is for you!
By A. Perkins on August 2, 2004
Format: Paperback
As an IT consultant, I've planned and performed many Windows NT/2000/XP desktop deployments for many different organizations over the past five years. In that time, I have never come across a resource that captures as much valuable deployment information in one volume as this Resource Kit does. Jerry's gift for creating easy, fun coverage of complex topics is put to good use to tackle all the challenges faced during deployment. The book is well organized; new admins will find just the guide they need to get up-to-speed and perform a great deployment, while seasoned veterans will find an excellent reference packed with tools and tips to bring deployments to the next level. Although geared toward Windows XP and Office 2003, most of the information is applicable to earlier versions of the products. If you work with desktop clients at all, you owe it to yourself to pick this up - Highly Recommended!
