Decent Introduction to Exchange

As an MCSE, I gave this book 4 stars for two reasons: the CD contains a 120 day trial version of Exchange 2003 Enterprise Edition, and the text provides a good overview of Exchange 2003 features suitable for MCSE test prep. I did not rate this book with 5 stars because it is presented as an "Administrator's Companion," which I felt was stretching it a bit. As a previous reviewer has stated, there are better alternatives for strictly "desk reference companions" to Exchange; however, I was pleasantly surprised by how readable the book was, given that it is a Microsoft Press publication.

For example, on page 9, the authors define policies thus: "Policies are collections of configuration settings that are applied to one or more Exchange configuration objects." The authors continue to define various policies in pretty basic terms. On page 268, the authors describe how to create a policy using step by step directions: "To create a server policy, right click the Systems Policy container, point to New, and then choose Server Policy." The instructions are also accompanied by extensive screen shots. While other reviewers found the screen shots redundant to the narrative, I feel comforted by the screen shots that match my screen when I am attempting to implement a procedure by following the text.

The book begins with an introductory chapter that provides a good review of the uses and concepts of Exchange, but is probably a waste of time for experienced users of Exchange. The following chapters include detailed instructions relevant to: planning, deployment, upgrading and migrating to 2003, functionality, security, maintenance (including disaster recovery and troubleshooting), and a fairly decent glossary. The authors also invite commentary and suggestions to their email sites: benglish@networknowledge.com and books@walterglenn.com. Both authors are MCSE and MCT certified.

I would recommend this book for those new to Exchange or preparing for the Exchange Server exam. Administrators looking for a thorough desk reference on the subject should try Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 24seven, ISBN: 0782142508.

Good Enougth to know how Exchange works.

Hi, this book introduced me the Exchange Server 2003 and was very helpful in my understandable of the software itself.
I've read the comments people posted here about this title and found them misplaced.
The book is very good and covers an wide area of Exchange 2003 administration. It also explains how the software works and gives you a lot of hints about implementing security in your environment.
I didn't rate this 5 stars because it's not SO EASY to find information you that you need for now inside the package. Sometimes you endeavour ours searching chapter by chapter, until find what you want.
If people rated this so poorly and rated Exchange Server 2003 Resource Kit so richly, I believe the last one to be the best book about exchange ever.
I hope to help customers who are intended to buy these books, cause I appreciate these kind of constructive analyse.

Good start...

This is a great book for getting starting in Exchange. You are not going to get it all, but you will have enough to be quite competent in the software.






How the Washing Machine Works - Not How to Wash Cloths

I've edited this review because I feel I may have been a bit too harsh. It is a good book, just not what I was looking for.

I need information on how to maintain an existing infrastructure and this was more in line with setting up the infrastructure. I need more of the "how to" stuff. There's not too much of that in here. If you want to know what makes Exchange run, without too much detail, then this book is for you. If you need to fix Exchange, then you need another book, and I'm still looking for that book. It just seems to hit lightly on a ton of stuff, but not deep enough on any one thing to give you a real understanding, or a way to glue it all together.
