  Have you read through the book?  The training portion of the book requires 4 virtual machines, domains, etc...  I have not read through everything yet, but the requirements are excessive.

  Jason - If you knew anything about SQL Server AlwaysOn this would come as no surprise and it is NOT excessive.

  @Jason - I bought this book. The lab requirement is not excessive. A laptop with at least i3 processor and 8GB of RAM would run the VM environment decently.

  Is there an errata to the book? I found a couple of "typos" that are more like errors. E.g. p.298 Chapter 7 Lesson 1 Question 2: Instead of "SQL Server Agent service" should read "SQL Server service".

  Chapter 9 Lesson 2 answers are almost all wrong (answers do not match questions)
