Review # 1 was written on 2010-07-06 00:00:00 Roy Winkworth If you're new to Active Directory, this is an acceptable starting point to get you up and running. However several points are not mentioned in this text: - First of all, issues regarding an Authoritative Restore; specifically Group Memberships. This is a CRUCIAL topic, as you'll see in the field, after doing an authoritative restore "by the book" you will have group membership inconsistencies - Poor explanation of tombstones & how to actually modify them; specifically which Object Attributes are saved in the tombstone by default [hint: user's group memberships is NOT one of them] and how to modify this property. - Insufficient coverage of crucial tools such as LDP.EXE, ASDIEDIT.MSC, FRSDIAG, REPLMON. - No explanation of Object's Back Link's [i.e. a user's Group Memberships] vs Object's Forward Link's [i.e. a group's User Members] and how Active Directory treats them VERY differently [esp for purposes of performing a restore]. - No coverage of the Journal Wrap & issues this causes w/ FRS replication There are other books, but unfortunately the only place I've found any information on these vital topics is support.microsoft.com. I HIGHLY suggest you spend your time reading the following technotes if you plan on using this book: Q840001, Q280079, Q216993, Q909265, Q292438.
