4.0 out of 5 stars Handy Ready Reference, December 22, 1999

John Carter (North Providence, RI) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Microsoft Exchange 5.5 Administrator's Pocket Consultant (Administrator's Companions) (Paperback)

This is a great book for handy ready reference. If you are trying to perform a certain function or decipher a properties box, this is the book to have. However, if you are looking for a logical step by step breakdown of Exchange Server 5.5 or want theory behind 5.5 this is not the right book.

It is well written for its intended prupose. It is concise and to the point. Just what you need when you need to configure a component of Exchange Server.

I have referred to it on six occasions so far and found the answers five of those six occasions. The title is an apt one: The Administrator's Pocket Consultant.

Essential reading for anyone who Administrates or implements MS Exchange Server. Kathy Ivens does a wonderful job turning a heavy reference material into light reading. Very concise with great tips. The book is not meant for the beginner. You must have a good working knowledge of the subject matter.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book to point you in the right direction quickly., February 7, 2000

By 

Rob Hall (des moines) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Microsoft Exchange 5.5 Administrator's Pocket Consultant (Administrator's Companions) (Paperback)

If you completely don't know what you're doing with Exchange and don't have the patience to read a 700 page manual, this book is for you. I read it in an afternoon and still refer to it occationally. The discriptions are brief but to the point and will point you in the right general direction. You can look up the details on a subject in Technet. Good book to take a quick look at some of the functionality of Exchange 5.5 and Resource Kit.
