Congrats to Jakob Heidelberg .. new MVP

It's no surprise that Jakob got the MVP award. What *IS* a surprise is that he didn't get it for Group Policy, as expected. But, he's an honorary GP MVP, since he does so much awesome work here ! If you don't currently read his blog, you should. It's here:

Congrats on new GP book for Derek

Derek Melber has a new GP book by Microsoft Press. I'm holding my copy in my hand, and it's a great book for anyone looking to get more rounded on Group Policy. It's a short read, about 500 pages, and has some good information on 3rd party tools and solutions. (Which I'm a big fan of.) Derek's book also cracks open ADMX files (if you're into that kind of thing) as well as details sample output of many of the Group Policy GPMC scripts (available online at Microsoft.com.) So check it out. It's part of the larger Microsoft Server 2008 Resource kit. You can learn more about his book here. Congrats Derek !
