The original text of "In practice, you are unlikely to come across a computer with 32 GB of RAM and only 32 GB of disk space." is CORRECT but has been recently changed to 512 MB (and misprinted as 512 GB) of RAM. The original statement means that you will likely not find a machine with a large amount of RAM but small amount of storage - it was misinterpreted and incorrectly changed. |

The text says: "Unlike OUs, you cannot assign Group Policy to computer objects or delegate their administration." Though this is true, I think you intended to say "container objects" based on the context of the sentence. Container objects are like OUs in that they are used to organize objects, but they are different because you can't apply Group Policy to them. Note from the Author or Editor: |

The text says "The distinguished name of an object signifies its relative location within the Active Directory structure." This is unclear, because the distinguished name is the absolute location in Active Directory in that it includes the full path to the object. A relative location would be part of the distinguished name, showing its location relative to an OU, for example. I would elminate the word "relative" in this sentence.

The -source parameter was not discussed in the chapter, however example 3 from the technet library article at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh848503.aspx seems to suggest that this paramter is for populating the new disk with the data from the specified source disk and not for specifying where the free space for the new disk is to be taken from. If this is the case, the command would seem to be populating a newly created 500GB disk with data from a 931GB disk and attempting to store that new 500GB disk on a C: drive that is only 465GB in size.
