This book (70-646 R2) is not as well written as the (70-640 R2 and 70-640 R2) releases. I am on chapter 3 now. The writing style does not have a good flow to it. The labs so far are not complete and somewhat useless. Example: Chapter 1 covers WDS and automated deployment but the lab only installs the role and that is as far as you go. It does not cover MDT, SIM, etc. I have combined this book with Microsoft’s eLearning class and will likely use MeasureUp as recommended by MS.
