I have been using this book to help me roll out a new Vista deployment. This book has been indispensible. It's really hard to know just how to go about a ground-up deployment (especially if you've never done one before), so this book approaches desktop management and security in an incremental approach, which is appropriate if you are still deciding on what level of desktop management is required in your situation. So I have no complaints. I just wish there was a similar book tha would help (especially small businesss, e.g. 25 employees or less) know what steps to take to plan a managed secure desktop enviroment and then roll it out.
