Is it the fact that at the single moment in time there are not many books out to cover System Center Configuration Manager 2007? Is it the fact that in side the hard cover with the standard 'Microsoft' logo there lies homage to Rod Trent on page xxxiv? Nope its because the book is very down right technical and useful covering beginer class to what I feel is advanced class of the experience that is Microsoft's System Center Configuration Manager 2007.

Now if you don't have $60.00 bucks to shell out for a new book from Barnes and Nobles or many of the other named books stores, don't fret you can get this book online at Amazon.com used and I tell you shipping is fast, cheap and worth it.

I purchased my book from the store because I had not taken the chance to check out Amazon.com yet, I purchased a few days later the 'MCTS Self-Paced Training Kit (Exam 70-620): Configuring Windows Vista(TM) Client (Self Paced Training Kit 70-620) (Hardcover)' book online from Amazon.com and it arrived in a timely manner and like new with the CD and all. I saved almost half the cost of the book from the price at the retail store getting the book for a mere $35.58 with shipping included instead of the $60.00.

I digress, if you wish to have a good read on either book I recommend them both, for the Desktop Engineer getting ready to take that deep breath and delve into the realm of Vista for their corporate environment or the SMS 2003 Administrator getting ready to move into the future with SCCM 2007. Even a current SCCM 2007 Administrator like myself can find a lot of value in the System Center Configuration Manager 2007 Administrator's Companion.

I would seriously recommend both of these books and to further your purchasing need check out their listings on Amazon.com:
