Today I just finished typing the last word in my upcoming book titled System Center 2012 Configuration Manager: Mastering the Fundamentals. The book is published by Deploymentartist.com and will be available on Amazon from Mid-June. The book will also be available for Kindle a few weeks later. Once the book is published we will also publish a Hydration kit that you can use to build thesame virtual ConfigMgr environment used in the book. You will also be granted access to download the scripts and sample files used in the book.
On this journey of writing I got help from two outstanding ConfigMgr experts. Peter Daalmans assisted as co-writer on some of the chapters and Kaido “the PowerShell Wizard of Estonia” Järvemets assisted with creating PowerShell support for most of the daily administrative tasks that you are faced with, as a ConfigMgr administrator.

Hi Kent,
Will there be a eBook (ePub) version available soon?
On Amazon there is also no Kindle version of your book.
Thanks and keep up the superb work.
Cheers, Chris.
Yes, there will be a Kindle version available soon. I do not have the exact date.
I would like to see the table of contents for this book, everywhere I go it is not available. Is there a problem making it available or even making excerpts of the bokk available on Amazon.com for us to see?
Hi Kent,
Like the book a lot. Much better than those orange books which seem to be missing a few things.
