This is a great book for anyone not familiar with Operations Manager and it does cover the installation and configuration in detail. You can definitely get up and running with this book and handle complex multi-site environments. It definitely covers the integration of all the new environments and product enhancements.
A great book to have if all you do is deploy and configure SCOM for a living in a fairly generic way. The problem with SCOM is that if you really want it to be useful you have to dive deeply into the internals of how it works so that you see where it is lacking such as in Distributed Applications. You can set them up but without writing your own management packs what you end up with is alerts that are vague and without context which means they get ignored.
The book is great and detailed in many ways but the underlying need of most people is to have a much better understanding of the internals and how to really effectively use SCOM. That is lacking and I do not think any book to be found really covers that part. You really would have to be more of a developer to understand it with a touch of DBA thrown in for good measure. I think the book is great for a newcomer but having read the prior two Unleashed titles it is more of a rehash with the new product not a fundamental rewrite.
I have used multiple versions of SCOM and written code to pull alerts at a granular level into a ticketing system as well as struggled with Distributed Applications setup to make it do what I needed. That kind of thing this book does not cover and none does that I know of. So if you are new to SCOM and have been tasked with getting it up and going then this is the book for you.
