Not ready to be unleashed - 2008-01-14
Reviewer Rating:
This is the worst Windows server book I have ever encountered. It is full of factual inaccuracies (the wrong name of server roles), grammatical errors and typos. I have no problem with it being updated from a previous version, and a lot of that is a copy/paste operation, but don't they have editors to check the work?

Poorly Organised and Bloated - 2009-09-01

This book is a giant plie of redundant double speak. Don't bother trying to read it in the contentional manner, and don't expect it to explain how to do something. This book doesn't not even try to accomplish either of these goals. A better title for this book would be, "how to manage an IT group that is going to use Exchange 2007". There are many places where its explanantion boils down to: "and then it just happens".

One could GREATLY improve this book if the didn't try to lump togehter a billion usage scenarios into one. They could just lay out the fundementals and then seperate the book into the 4 or 5 most common usage scenarios. A simple questionare of 5 questions would direct you to the correct section that best matches your usage scenario:

1. Do you already have an existing exchange system?
2. Multiple or Single Domains?
3. Multiple or Single Forest?
4. How many users do you intend to serve?
5. Additional considerations (mobile messaing, etc..)?

A transitoning (upgradeing), single forest, single domain, < 50 user, and only basic exchange messeageing administrator would need to read less than 1/20th of this book. Instead, one has to wade through a myriad of details that are in no way relevant to the bottom line, setting up an exchange 2007 server correctly.

a good Exchange 2007 technical read - 2008-06-17

One of the best books in the market about Exchange 2007, it has a great section about project planning and consulting in general also. Great for planning migration from Exchange 2000/2003 to Exchange 2007, I highly recommend this book to anyone planning to migrate their organization to Exchange 2007, but make sure to look into other resources and check frequent updates about Exchange 2007 online. The PoweShell part is kind of weak compared to the other sections.

Solid introduction to Exchange 2007 - 2008-03-18

I put my exchange 2007 servers in to production about 6 months ago. This book has been extremely helpful whenever I have run in to trouble. So far much better and easier to reference tan the Microsoft press ones.

Just what I was looking for... - 2008-03-10
Reviewer Rating:
Best even than the version for exchange 2003 of the same authors.It approaches all the important items of a new implementation or a migration of previous version, only of exchange not of other commercial mail products not Microsoft, in my opinion it will be only one lacking of this edition
