Book Description

August 4, 1999

Microsoft Exchange is a big, complicated application; it requires more disk storage than Windows NT Server and has several hundred configuration property pages and dialogs. But it is also a very powerful and flexible messaging system. However, knowing that it can be made to do something and understanding how to do it are often worlds apart. Managing Microsoft Exchange Server bridges this gap.

This book is a no-nonsense, practical guide to planning, installing, managing, maintaining, and troubleshooting Exchange networks. Targeted at medium-sized installations and up, Managing Microsoft Exchange Server addresses the difficult problems these users face: Internet integration, storage management, cost of ownership, system security, and performance management. It goes beyond the basics to provide real hands-on advice about what you need to know after you have your first site up-and-running and are facing issues of growth, optimization, or recovery planning. Managing Microsoft Exchange Server comprehensively explains how Exchange works, what it can do, and how you can make it work for you.


Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Managing Microsoft Exchange Server is written for Exchange Server administrators--the people who have to make it work. Paul Robichaux tells you from the beginning that his book doesn't deal with mail connectors (PC or mainframe), doesn't cover migration planning, and doesn't tackle Exchange scripting or application development. This leaves plenty of scope since Exchange Server is larger and more complex than Windows NT, with hundreds of configuration dialogs. Robichaux starts with considerations that precede breaking the CD-ROM seals, and by chapter 4 you're ready to install it.

Next you learn about Exchange Administrator, the front end that enables users to access and edit Exchange Server's operation. The book usefully lists the containers--the components underlying Exchange Server--which Administrator controls. At this point, you start to get your hands dirty. The sheer wealth of practical detail that follows--particularly the sections on managing Internet mail and security--calls for careful examination.

Robichaux clearly knows his subject. He doesn't slavishly tow the Microsoft line and is happy to make suggestions based on real experience. For example, he recommends against using Exchange Server's automatic restart feature. If you're responsible for installing and managing Exchange Server, you should have this book on your shelf. --Steve Patient, amazon.co.uk

5.0 out of 5 stars More than a "what you can do" book, September 29, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Managing Microsoft Exchange Server (Paperback)
This book is EXCELLENT! I'm brand new to Exchange server and needed more than a "let's talk about all the features" book. I needed a book that could outline the theory AND the setup. This book did that and more. The information is concise, thorough and has good coverage of the basic client setups too. Though, you will still need something else for a thorough implemation of your client base. This book covers everything, including the connectors, information stores, IMS, NNS, and mailbox setups. Paul also, gives you many alternative methods of doing things like mailbox delegation. The clear "How-to" instructions are wonderful and Paul outlines the theory exquisitely. This is the Echange 5.5 Bible I have been looking for.

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW! Great book!, September 8, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Managing Microsoft Exchange Server (Paperback)
WOW! Great book! I am not bragging, but I want to qualify my experience with Exchange and technical books.

I am an MCSE and an MCT. I teach Windows 9x, Windows NT Server, Windows NT Workstation, Windows NT Enterprise, IIS, Proxy, TCP/IP, Exchange and more... I have also co-authored and edited several Windows NT books.

This is one of the most technically accurate and readable books that I have read in a long time. I am actually reading it cover to cover and I am enjoying every page.

JOB WELL DONE! Thanks!

5.0 out of 5 stars If I were stranded on a desert island..., March 12, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Managing Microsoft Exchange Server (Paperback)
If I had to choose but two MS Exchange books for my arsenal, this would absolutely be one of them. The other would have to be Barry Gerber's "Mastering Exchange Server 5.5"

Paul Robichaux has done an EXCELLENT job of filling in what few gaps Barry Gerber left in his book. Where Gerber provides an excellent guide to setting up and getting to know Exchange, Robichaux takes you deeper into more "advanced" administrative issues such as disaster recovery, security, enabling Exchange for remote users, etc.

If you manage an Exchange server or servers for your orginzation, this book is indispensible. Hats off to the author!
