There's a lot to read and understand for an Exchange Newbie but, if you've got the server in front of you, this book gives you an excellent base for your experience to build on. The author gives a good messaging system review and then dives into what's new. An experienced Exchange Admin shouldn't have any problem picking up Exchange 07 knowledge and he/she reads on but may likely be searching for the next generation exchange server guide by the time they finish this one. It's a thorough book, indeed.

The book is very general and basically just a high level overview. I would not recommend this book at all. I installed a fresh Exchange 2007 server and found much more detailed information on the web. Save your money.
