MS Exchange Server 2003 pocket consultant - 2006-03-13

This book has been very helpful with building a new server, migrating from MS Exchange 2000.

Great little Exchange 2003 Admin book - 2006-10-11

There have been several of these types of books published by MS Press. Several years ago I purchased the Exchange Pocket Consultant. These books, and the information provided by William Stanek, are great.

I traveled quite a bit doing Exchange migrations and clustering. The ability to toss something light, but dense with great information, into a backpack was awesome. It was also fun to pull it out and go over some of the principles with admins starting to operate their new Exchange 2003 infrastructures.

This book goes over the basic principles of configuring and administering an Exchange 2003 infrastructure. The information is presented in an easy to understand format and helps to facilitate learning about Exchange operations.

Excellent! - 2006-07-22

I spend most of my time working with SQL Server, but recently I had to take over and rebuild our Exchange. As I've had good success with Stanek's other books, I picked this one up the week before to help me get up to speed on Exchange, and it did an excellent job. I successfully upgraded, had all our servers up and running by Monday morning and we have an extensive multiple server configuraiton with OWA, wireless, and X.400 MTAs. Exchange Administrator Pocket Consultant is by far the one Exchange book I can't recommend highly enough. Get it, you'll be glad to have it on hand. I refer to this book constantly.

Great book to put the dot's on the I's - 2009-07-26

I got this book to supliment the MS Press books I allready had on my MCSE 2003 exams.
The book is taskbased. Just select a task you want to do, and the book will give you a step by step guide on how to do it.
It gives you real life recomodations that are really helpfull.

I actually read the book in the train going to and from to work and it is very easy to read. It doesn't learn you much new stuff if you allready have the MCSE 2003 exams, but it's a good read to get me to remember the little things that I forgot.

Next for me to read is the exchange 2003 version of this book.

Not bad, more examples would help - 2007-04-08
Reviewer Rating:
As with most MS support material, this one is heavy on geek speak and too light on real-world examples and "most-common" scenarios and solutions. The issue is the amount of time it takes to wade through the explanations in order to find the simple setting or solution that is needed to solve the problem. But overall I would recommend this book for MS Exchange Server administrators - it does save some time over looking things up on Microsoft's absurdly complex "support" pages.
