I have a degree in literature and biology from the University of Alabama in Huntsville. I work and live in Huntsville, Alabama as a consultant, trainer, and writer.

I've written or co-written around 30 books. All of them were fun to work on; a few have even won awards.

In addition to books, I also write articles, white papers, marketing papers, online technical resources, presentations, and things like that. For some of that work, I also do document design and layout.

My recent books include several official Microsoft certification Training Kits on things like Windows Small Business Server 2008, Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, and Windows XP Professional. I've also written books on Outlook and Word for O'Reilly, on networking for Linksys, and on several other products.

This review is from: Microsoft® Exchange Server 2007 Administrator's Companion (Pro - Administrator's Companion) (Paperback)

working with Exchange 2007 (E2K7) since July '07 and Exchange (5.5 and 2003) since 1999, i am somewhat familiar with Microsoft's Mail products. the E2K7 takes it to another level and this book gives you the info you need. is it the best and the only reference you will need? no, certainly not but it IS a good place to start. PowerShell is very pervasive and the more you know about it the easier your life will be as the EMC (Exchange Mangement Console) is not the same thing you got in the last version Exchange 2003's ESM (Exchange System Management). my suggestion is to pick up a PowerShell SP1 book, i reviewed a great one recently and i have about 5 so far.
Bottom line, good book to have but you will need others especially concerning PowerShell. i own about a dozen of the Admin Companions and their Pocket Consultants as well.

This book is very thin on where you need it most. For instance, only the very very basics of SCR is mentioned. They do not even mention how to restore SCR. Try another book. Add-ADPermission, a command that is commonly used in Exchange, is not even found. A thick book, but nothing really covered well. Maybe a good book if you are brand new to exchange, and want something to read from cover to cover. You will be left in the dark if you use this a companion.
