Product Description: According to Microsoft, Exchange Server delivers over 75% of all corporate e-mail. The 2007 release is the fist major overhaul since 2003. It attempts to address the challenge of delivering greater performance and accessibility while increasing protection against a new generation of high risk security threats. Microsoft has added many new features that dramatically improve the scope of Exchange Server and the Outlook web client, positioning the platform as a groupware and collaboration tool that is accessible to remote and wireless users as will as those wired directly to the corporate intranet. The typical SysAdmin needs a reference that cuts through all the complexity and seldom-used features to get the product successfully deployed as efficiently as possible---exactly the job of the "How to Cheat" series.
good book I was trying to find information online on MS Exchange replication. MS has terrible documentation. I opened this book to the relevant chapter and had my answer in under 5 minutes. This book is great.
The book to get for Exchange 2007 Exchange 2007 is a very big change when compared to its predecessor. Personally, I was interested in getting up-to-speed on it quickly, after having ignored it's introduction to the market last year. Henrik Walther made that task easy. He comes at the subject from the perspective of an experienced administrator who wants to get right to the things you really need to get done. Exchange is a very complex, very big application, and Henrik's book makes getting into the nuts and bolts of configuring it fast and understandable. If you need to get Exchange up and into production under a tight time schedule, this is your book. Likewise if you need a quick blueprint of how best to configure it for your specific needs.
Good Book but annoying formatting. Love you work on msexchange and use the site regularly but the formating of this book is makes it really annoying to read (not sure if this is common to all 'How to cheat...' books). I suggest the person doing the "How to cheat" layout/formating refer to some of the books below and cut back on the number of different fonts and uses smaller heading sizes.
For peoples reference I have purchased Tom Schinders ISA Books (from ISA 2000 onwards), Mark Minasi's Server books (2000 & 2003), Barry Gerbers Exchange 2000 books plus quite a few others. The books mentioned above I really enjoyed reading and still refer to them extensively.
Having current Exchange servers I was looking for a bit more detail about transition to 2000/2003 than the 28 pages of chapter 10. It really didn't provide any extra 'expert' information.
(Edit) After leaving the book for a few months I have come back and read it again and have refered to it a few times my opinion has changed regarding the content. I would rate it around 4 stars now (But I can't change the rating?). Chapter 10 was one of the only chapters that was a little 'thin'. Overall it is a good book and once I got over the formatting annoyances I have enjoyed it a lot more second time around.
Best Installation Guide Having worked with Exchange since 5.0 I have read many installation guides and administrator's handbooks and I would rate this one as the best. I acquired this book after teaching how to configure and install Exchange 2007 to corporate clients and I have since done away with delivering them my own notes and simply recommend that they purchase this book. It is the ultimate guide to installing and configuring Exchange from a technical perspective. Way to go!
Great technical content, poor editing By page 4, the editing annoyed me and I picked up the unleashed book. I read all 1000 pages and returned unleashed for this book due to the deeper technical information.
If you like to "read" your technical books, this can get tiring. If you want a great reference with lots of info on the issues you will run into on a 2007 deployment, pick this up.
