While living in Japan, he spent much of his free time in Aomori (青森), Hachinohe (八戸), Misawa (三沢), and Tokyo (東京). He misses the wonderful food and drink and the good friends he made. He says, "On break, I traveled all over. On the island of Hokkaidô in Sapporo they have these wonderful Ice Festivals. My favorite thing about spring was the Cherry Blossom Festival. I'd take day trips to Aomori (青森) and Hachinohe (八戸) all the time. While in Japan, I studied kendo, the Japanese language, and Buddhism."
William lived in Europe from 1989 to 1991. During that time, he lived in Germany (mostly) and had several extended stays in the UK and Scotland including deployments to Mildenhall, UK. He spent his time in the UK travelling, and especially enjoyed his visits to Cambridge and London. He's been a football (soccer) fan since he was old enough to kick a ball and especially enjoyed being in Kaiserslautern for the championships. He misses the wonderful food and drink and the good friends he made. He says, "There's nothing like Fridays at the pub or Saturday market."

I had assumed that this book was a cookbook in nature, I need to do this procedure - look it up and execute the steps in order. But it really was a lot more. It does an excellent job of explaining the concepts in a concise accurate manner. There is an impressive amount of content in this book as well. I was happily deceived by its size. But if you want a book that quickly explains what you need to do with Exchange 2010, this is a great option. I have the Unleashed book, and I find myself using this book quite a lot more.

William Stanek is the top authority for all things Microsoft for a reason. He is well known for his detailed and clear explanations. He knows more than any dozen other so-called experts and he's not afraid to share every last bit of knowledge he has about any topic he writes about. Exchange Server 2010 Adminstrators Pocket Consultant isn't meant to be an allinone book but in this book's 700 pages I learned everything I wanted to know about Exchange Server 2010 and then some.
Good for anyone working in tech from dev to IT admin. Definitely worth the money and then some too.

This review is from: Microsoft® Exchange Server 2010 Administrator s Pocket Consultant (Paperback)
In this book, you are presented with some (but not all) configuration options of Exchange 2010. However you are not giving the explanation why would you like to configure it this way. Mostly it's just copy-paste from the manual.
Also there are so many repeated parts that are very disruptive in reading, for example you can find this:
"Unlike POP3, IMAP4 has no option to leave mail on the server. IMAP4 also lets users access public and private folders on an Exchange server." This is copy-pasted 3 times on just four pages! It's just ridiculous.
On the other hand, the powershell part is nice and worth reading, that's why I am giving 3 stars instead of none. Even though I like William's book, this one is not good.
