5.0 out of 5 stars Best Exchange 5 Server Study Guide Available, June 12, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: McSe: Exchange 5 Study Guide (Hardcover)

I've been studying for my MCSE through an ATEC provider, and therefore have been using "Microsoft Official Curriculum". Needless to say, Microsoft does not write textbooks nearly as user-friendly or useful as they do software. Sybex's Exchange Server 5 Study Guide is twice as informative as and ten times easier to read than Microsoft's offering. This book is the perfect example of why Microsoft has finally changed their mind and is allowing ATEC providers to use textbooks other than their own - because, in the case of textbooks, the competition is actually better than Microsoft's own.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's a MCSE study guide, not an Exchange mastering guide, June 12, 1998

If we state passing the exam as our main goal, the book is well written. I readed the entire book several times during the last month and I passed the exam at the first attempt with 720 over 1000. You can skip the Forms chapter. It is not an exam objective.

4.0 out of 5 stars Exchange Core, and Connectors, are covered well, May 7, 1998

This review is from: McSe: Exchange 5 Study Guide (Hardcover)

I have read the Mastering Exchange Server book, and found it to be a story book - didn't like it. The MCSE: Study Guide for Exchange 5 at least gives you the information up front, without having to read through the "story" to get the information. They cover the core components very well, without leaving too much out. I did find that there were a few advanced features that it didn't quite cover, but I suppose that is why there are "Study Guides" and "Reference Books." I would rate it as one of the better study guides, but I would also look for another book to use as a reference guide.
