The .mobi and .epub links do not work for me, perhaps those documents are not available yet. The .pdf link worked fine. Thank you for the book.
Same as Mathias – the only link that worked here is the .pdf
EPUB not working for me either, only PDF
Yep, I can only download the PDF, not the other two files.
EPUB and MOBI link changed to "Coming soon" for me. PDF works great.
Thank You – Mitch Tulloch 🙂

Should keep me quiet for a weekend or two!
There are some nice, cool features in Server 2012. If you are reading this, get used to the Metro interface, it is not as bad as it looks!!! You can configure it really easily and set up all sorts of neat shortcuts. Plus you can search by typing directly onto the desktop instead of having to find the search entry box.
You will also be surprised that the interface is designed for a 16×9 screen – the idea is that you won't be doing your work down by the stack any more. You will be doing it in a bright office, or anywhere you can login!!
Thank you Mitch Tulloch for the free book 🙂
Great offering and looking forward to reading it in depth.
Thanks for the free Ebook!
For those of us who don't think like Microsoft wants us to … Once you download the book on a Windows Phone, if you want to find it again, you'd go to the Adobe application. Where it seems that you'll also find every PDF attachment you ever downloaded from your email. Didn't really take me LONG to find it, but it just didn't seem obvious. I was sort of expecting an icon to appear in my apps list.
Thanks for the free ebook, i cant wait to read it thoroughly
Appears the PDF link is now damaged
None of the links work for me! Now that sucks!!!
Hi. I just checked all of the links and they work. Please comment if any of you are having trouble downloading these files.
Great to have it in mobi/ePub format too. Thanks for the book!
Did you know your title link links to a large version of the image, rather than your blog home page?
That should probably be fixed.
Just installed 2012 server and this book will help me big time to learn Windows 2012
