It is being authored by Brian Mason and Greg Ramsey. Brian Mason is the president of the Minnesota System Center User Group, a Microsoft Configuration Manager MVP, and manages 350,000 clients for Wells Fargo using SCCM.
Greg Ramsey specializes in systems management for Dell Services, is a Microsoft Configuration Manager MVP, author of 2 previous books on SMS and is cofounder of the Ohio SMS Users Group. These two know their stuff and I am sure have put together an awesome book.
