Quick and too the point
This book can be read and understood by Exchange Vets or newbies...it covers basics and more complicated matters in a format that is easy to look up when an issue arises. No one can remember how to do everything but you can use this manual as your backup and make it appear you know it all.
Deserves more than 5 Stars
I've found that pretty much anything that has William Stanek's name on it is very good. AND this book exceeded my expectations. It answered many questions, solved many problems, and it fits nicely in my backpack. I don't know what the previous reviewer was moking, but this book IS very well organized, and clearly worded. It is in fact a pleasure to read and the author's knowledge and devotion to the subject come shining through. If you need admin Exchange Server then you must buy this book. Thanks for a great book William!
Another great pocket consultant by Stanek!
Incredible how much the author packs into 462 pages! Whenever I have an Exchange question this is the book I reach for. Better still it is the one I always find the answers in. Highly recommended for all the nitty gritty of day to day admin work. I love this book!
A must read
In this book Microsoft , takes you all the way from explaining the basic concepts of mail servers and move on to installing, upgrading, migrating and clustering of exchange servers and in a very detailed way with many pictures that helps you understand the product even if you didn't work with it before.
Readers can notice easily the improvements in the MS books released for 2003 products over the ones released before for 2000/NT.
Reading this book will help you for sure do the daily tasks of exchange administration, installing, upgrading, lists, aliases and much more, if you are considering this book for clustering and for advanced recovery techniques you will be disappointed.
Worth reading.
Excellent choice for Exchange admins and devs
Another fine Pocket Consultant from William Stanek. Clear, Concise, and encyclopedic in scope. This "Pocket" book is designed to serve as a reference for common and not so common procedural tasks. It is also great for learning Exchange. I used this book to get Exchange up and running in minimum time. As with most of his other "Pocket" references, Mr. Stanek does a very thorough job of documenting tasks in a highly organized manner. You will get more out of this book in a few days than you will combing the newsgroups for months and months. I haven't found a daily administration question this book didn't answer. I keep a copy in my backpack so I have it always with me. This is a book you will find yourself referring to on a daily basis. With Amazon dropping the price by 30%, it is a deal that cannot be beat! Very highly recommended!
