5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book with real world references and "how-to's", May 12, 2007

By	D. Lema (Northeast) - See all my reviews

I am going to keep this short, but the book is excellent. It's quick and to the point. The book is well thought out and consistent with tons of "how-to's", gotchas to be aware of, and implication scenarios.

This is not a 1300 page lecture on why Microsoft did "this or that". It's not a primer for learning the SMTP protocol. It is the first book to buy if you need to get Exchange 2007 installed and tested quickly. Further, Henrik has some updated articles that he references in the book which you can find on his website (in the book).

Let me also give a bad mark to Syngress....I cannot register the book yet (they told me it wasn't in their database, if you can believe that) and as such cannot get some of the free e-booklets. Shame on you Syngress; Kudos to you Henrik!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Resource for Exchange 2007!!, June 11, 2007

By	S. Shipe (Rockville, MD) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I haven't sat down and read the entire book, I have mainly used it as a reference, but it has been a big help so far. The other day I was online reading some documentation on certificates with Exchange 2007, and I was about to print the article because it was so detailed and helpful, when I realized it was an excerpt from this book that I already owned. So I took out the book and read it there instead. I've got a pocket guide and one other reference guide, but this is the one I use most often.

4.0 out of 5 stars good book, June 10, 2008

By	Adipolle (Austin, TX) - See all my reviews

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.
