Book review Managing Virtual Infrastructure with Veeam One
I had the opportunity to review this book published by Packt Publishing and written by Kevin L. Sapp.
I have no affiliation with either the author nor Packt publishing.
This book provides you with steps to install and configure Veeam ONE. From configuring this product to generating reports. It is all described in detail as we are accustomed from Packt books. However, if your looking for troubleshooting tips this book will leave you with some unanswered questions as this book has only basic troubleshooting steps.
It is a good read and explains all the basics you need for a basic installation and configuration of Veeam ONE.

Book review Citrix XenDesktop 7 cookbook
Packt publishing contacted me recently to review a new book they published on Citrix XenDesktop 7.
Gaspare A. Silvestri has written this book and does explain all the various settings and features of XenDesktop 7. Even if you aren’t experienced with this product he will guide you through this one and keep you interested in knowing more about this product.
As you all know I’m a great fan of using screenshot to enhance the readability of a document/post or book. Gaspare does this also in this book and it makes it easier to read and even helps you in where you can find certain settings.
If you don’t have this book yet, I would recommend it to add this to your bookshelf and read it.
Hope you find this review usefull.
Until the next book review or blogpost

Book review “Windows Server 2012 Automation with PowerShell CookBook”
Packt publishing contacted me recently to review a new book they published on automating Windows Server 2012 through PowerShell.
Ed Goad has written this book and in the first chapter he goes rather quickly through the PowerShell commands. If you don’t have any PowerShell knowledge I suggest you first learn to understand it first. Ed explains the basics well, but for a novice on PowerShell it’s to little.
Ed Goad goes into great detail in how you can automate Windows 2012. From installing and managing IIS to setting up Hyper-V and backing up your 2012 server. Ed explains it all.
I love the great detail in which he explains all features iwith the help of screenshots and example scripts you can use right away.
If you don’t have this book yet, I would recommend it to add this to your bookshelf and read it. Only downside I can see is that you need to have some knowledge of PowerShell. Otherwise you will have some difficulty getting through it. Don’t get me wrong, you’ll get through it and you can do all the steps and tasks after reading it but it will take you a little more time.
Hope you find this review usefull.
Until the next book review or blogpost .
