Editorial Reviews

From the Author

The focus of my book is on day-to-day administration of Exchange 2000. The book is organized as a series of 25 chapters that lead the reader gradually from simpler topics (pure installations, recipients, address lists, recipient policies) to more complex ones (administrative and routing groups, storage architecture, connectors, upgrades, monitoring and maintenance). Included in these chapters are over 150 hands-on walkthroughs covering a multitude of tasks that competent Exchange 2000 administrators need to be able to perform. If desired, readers can follow along as they read by working through the various walkthroughs on their own testbed systems similar to the one described in the book. Numerous screenshots are also included, which makes this book an excellent learning tool even for readers who cannot set up their own testbed systems. The book also includes notes, tips, background information, and under-the-hood looks at how Exchange 2000 operates. Anyone who n! eeds to learn how to perform day-to-day administration of Exchange 2000 will find this book an excellent learning tool and will find it a valuable reference guide afterwards. Companies may want to purchase this book to use it for training junior administrators to operate Exchange. Technical schools can employ it as a classroom textbook for teaching Exchange administration. And individuals intending to take the Exchange 2000 exams as part of their MCSE certification will find this book an excellent tool for gaining the hands-on experience that is always the most valuable key for success on such exams. Experienced administrators will find this book a quick and easy introduction to the new version of the product. While some troubleshooting information is included, this book is not intended as an in-depth guide for troubleshooting Exchange migration, connectivity, or disaster recovery issues.

5.0 out of 5 stars Administering Exchange 2000 Server, September 3, 2001

By 

Bryan D Harris (Sacramento) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Administering Exchange 2000 Server (Paperback)

Unfortunately I only have 1000 words to write a review on this, what I view as the best book on Administering Exchange Server 2000, that I have read. This book is very comprehensive and it is apparent that the author is a very Intelligent Exchange Administrator. He has the ability to take complex configurations and convery the meaning in a understandable fashion, with perfect spelling. The books approach is remarkable
and when I was finished with the book I had confidence that I would be able to create a well secure Exchange Organization. I would reccomend this book above any other Exchange book and once you buy it youll understand why!

5.0 out of 5 stars Understandable Exchange 2000 server, April 24, 2003

This review is from: Administering Exchange 2000 Server (Paperback)

I purchased this book in the morning and by using its straightforward explanations, had managed to install and run a new mail server operation the same afternoon.

It's not often that you come across a technical subject such as this which has been so well laid out and explained.

Having previously purchased Microsofts Exchange 2000 Server Administrators Pocket Consultant and also SAMS teach Yourself Windows 2000 Server - both of which totally confused rather than helped, it was a delight to open this book and by following the numerous Walkthroughs - achieve what I wanted to do first time round.

A very understandable way of writing which makes life a lot easier for the "non-techies" amongst us.

This review is from: Administering Exchange 2000 Server (Paperback)

Easy to read - easy to understand There are SO many new concepts to Exchange 2000 - it can be a bit daunting. I also found an inaccuracy and wrote the author about it, who clarified it immediate. Impressed me a great deal that he stood behind his material. It also has nice practical walkthroughs, but they require three machines to set up the proper Exchange 2000 environment - which I recommend.
