book review: MS Press Terminal Services for Windows 2008

This MS Press book is one of the newly published books about Terminal Services for Windows 2008. I was very impressed with this Resource Kit.
I have read before resource kit book guides from MS Press for many years, but this one was in a different class. This book is great for architectural planning for botht he novice and experienced IT professional, all while displaying hands on instructions that allows you to set up a working Terminal Services platform. The resources kits also allowsyou to understand the inner workings of Terminal Services while giving guidance on managing all aspects of Terminal Services in the Windows environment.

Chapters are easy to understand, even when it comes to complex roles such as deploying terminal servers, or integrating terminal services to other Windows platforms.

This book is different in from others written simple because it’s written by authors who have been working in the virtual realm for 5 yrs demonstrating their knowledge and experience every day, this is realized early on in the book as you read more chapters.

So, if you are in the market for a book getting in to detail on Terminal Services RemoteApp, Terminal Services Gateway, Terminal Services Web Access, Terminal Services Easy Print, and Terminal Services Session broker, you have the right book for the job.

Happy Reading
