In the process of setting up to teach 50382A - Implementing Forefront Identity Manager 2010 in Phoenix, AZ (Feb 8-11 and May 23 – May 26 – registration info to follow in a subsequent post) and looking at other courses in the Microsoft Courseware library I have noticed an interesting trend – most courses have lots of very bland reviews like this:
“Good Course”
“Good one”
“Good content and best practices”
Tomorrow morning at 8 AM PST I will be participating as a speaker in a webinar with Jonathan Sander from Quest.

Successful identity and access management means different things to different organizations, but in almost every case, it requires complex, time-consuming, and expensive solutions. However, an ever-growing number of organizations have found a new way to achieve their identity and access management objectives simply, inexpensively, and powerfully.
In this webcast, identity and access management experts will discuss how organizations like yours have discovered and are implementing a simplified approach to identity and access management.

Could you post a complete listing of the corrections? In particular, the changes around the unattended client install. BTW, great job on Volume 1. I’m, looking forward to Volume 2 (and an eBook version would be great as well).
I love volume 1! Is it too soon to start asking about volume 2 :-)
Thanks to several readers including Freek Berson, for catching a few errors I made while revising after my first round of reviewers.
Changes: in version 1.1 (Sept 28, 2010)
Chapter 1, updated the manager to director card, previously the word director was not visible (page 2)
Manager
Director
Chapter 1 Fixed “Error Missing Reference” in Chapter 1 (page 4) to refer to Figure 1-2 Actual Photo of Smart Card
Fixed client unattended install in Chapter 7: deleted reference to config files and corrected registry references.

Congratulations!!
I’ll order it immediately.
Congrats, any chance of an ebook?
Dan,
I considered the e-book route, but at least for the time being decided to go with a printed version. Feel free to lobby and persuade me why an ebook version would be better.
The best view to present from the lulu site is probably this one: http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/david_lundell as it has the brief description of the book and the author bio.
You also have the ability to preview a few parts of the book
The book came out to be 258 pages from cover to cover, and yes we included an index! By publishing it through Lulu.com (a Print on Demand company) we got to be much more in control of the whole process, and had faster time to market.
Here are some comments from folks that have had access to pre-release copies:

Hi David, any update on the availability date?
