A nice follow up from the Windwos 2003 version. A must read for those planning to upgrade those security servers...

Bogus reviews? - 2009-09-24
Reviewer Rating:
5 out of 6 of the reviewers who gave this book rave reviews appear to have reviewed nothing else at all. Spam reviews, by any chance?

Pretty good - found a typo - 2009-09-17
Reviewer Rating:
It is a good book, very helpful. I don't think you can implement this any other way other than getting this book. Google fails, book wins.

Watch typo on page 134-135. They have Period and Unit parameters reversed in this section.

YOU MUST HAVE IT! - 2008-10-27
Reviewer Rating:
This book is the best reference for Windows PKI, even if you are deployng Windows 2003 PKI. If you have started to look into PKI, this is the book YOU MUST HAVE. Thanks to Brian Komar.

Buy this book if you are serious about Windows PKI & Certificates - 2008-07-15
Reviewer Rating:
This book is definitely a must have for anyone who plans to deploy a Windows 2008 (or even 2003) based Certificate Authority/PKI infrastructure. The author not only fully masters the subject, he also has found the rare balance between the necessary theory, legal aspects, discussing design aspects and diving into technical information. On top of that, the book contains an awful lot of real life scenario's and implementation examples.
So before you even start installing AD CS, read this book. You won't be disappointed.
