If you do not like the whole "Register to download for free" thing, you can also snag a copy direct from http://www.vi3book.com.

You mean you didn't even read it? Yes, it is 3 fun-filled chapters. I just finished going through it and found very few errors compared to our last attempt at writing a book. I can tell where I ran out of juice on the last paragraph of the Business Continuity chapter. It's almost like I'm speaking a different language at the end. I'll make sure we get it updated for the final print. Smiley Happy

Actually, I didn't have the time... so I haven't read it yet... I've already had an email about possible tech-error - but actually, i think its a misunderstanding on the part of the reader... but I will double-check. If its a misunderstanding then caused by something i wrote, then I needs clarifying...

Why in the downloadable PDF are the chapters out of order??

At least they are out of order in the file I downloaded, Chapter 1 is at the end instead of at the beginning.

Or are you all assuming that all your readers have already installed ESX 40-50 times already?? Smiley Happy Smiley Happy Smiley Happy

Thanks for posting it, looking forward to the real book soon.

Thank you, Tom

P.S. I think printing it costs less than ordering it unless one's printer is quite expensive.

Remember, this is two books. The chapters are in order as far as we are concernted. Book 1 is the design guide, Book 2 is the "How To" admin guide. Need to know what you are going to do before you actually do it. When you see Chapter 1, it is the first chapter of the second book. Smiley Happy

Ohhhhhh...I didn't realize that OR I missed whatever probably obvious place that it was stated for everyone to see that it's two books.

Thanks for explaining. Smiley Happy

Thank you, Tom

Good read so far.

Not sure if this is pre-proof reading or not but just in case; Page 24, last Paragraph reads -

"Finally, with centralized models your template deployments can become as

issue."

I guess that should read "an issue".
