This review is from: MCSE Exchange Server 5.5 for Dummies (Paperback)

I've looked at most of the MCSE Certification books while preparing to get my MCSE. One of the hardest things for me has been finding books that have solid troubleshooting information. In this new book, however, the troubleshooting section is one of the best I've seen. I can tell you that it not only gave me very valuable information to help me pass the exam, but the information in here is good enough that I'll be able to use it as a solid reference manual when I encounter problems in my Exchange environment. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!, July 7, 1999

This review is from: MCSE Exchange Server 5.5 for Dummies (Paperback)

In preparation for my exam I used three books, the SAM's book, the Sybex book and the Dummies book. The undisputed best book among the three was Dummies. The practical information provided in this book is hard to come by in other study materials. This book goes beyond the requirements for the exam and teaches you how to use the product in every day situations. My thanks to the authors for providing a well written and insightful manuscript that helped me pass the Exchange exam with ease.

I just finished taking one of Mr. Rachui's Exchange classes, and was blown away. He has an extraordinary knowledge of Exchange, and communicates it well through both his book and his classroom lectures. He is a full-time administrator with global enterprise experience, and his expertise definitely shows in this book. I highly recommend the book, as well as his class. Great job!
