More About the Author

Tony Redmond has been writing about electronic mail since 1992 and is acknowledged to be one of the foremost commentators on Microsoft collaboration technology, chiefly focusing on Microsoft Exchange Server. He retired from HP in March 2010 after spending ten years as a Vice President where he served in various roles such as Chief Technology Officer for HP Services. During his time at Digital Equipment Corporation, Compaq, and HP, Tony had a major influence over the relationship between the services divisions and many Microsoft engineering groups. Tony's books and other writing are based on the lessons learned through working with major customers to deploy technology both successfully and perhaps with less success. The aim is to understand what the technology can do and how best to deploy it to meet business goals.

His latest book is "Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 (including SP1): Inside Out" (ISBN 9780735640610), published by Microsoft Press in December 2010. Tony writes regularly about technology, travel, and rugby refereeing in his blog http://thoughtsofanidlemind.wordpress.com/

It depends on what kind of book you are looking for. For the full-time Exchange Admin, this book goes into lots of under the hood detail. This book is at a very high level in that respect, yet never mentions more basic things that I was looking for.

How do you bring Exchange 2003 into an existing Exchange 2000 organization? This is my primary objective, which gets a brief mention, but only for running an in-place upgrade. There's lots of coverage on migrating from Exchange 5.5, but this isn't something that applied to me. How should the server be setup as regards drives/partitions for Exchange? How does one bring additional servers into the organization?

This book was written from the perspective of a very large organization with a multitude of Exchange servers. It's got a lot of strategic design issues covered, but for someone with a small Exchange installation, it's up in the clouds.

The author is no doubt an expert, but the audience for this book isn't everyone who will move to Exchange 2003.

The Digital Press Exchange series for the past several years (since Exchange 5.x) have been the benchmarks on all things Exchange. This book is no exception. Exchange 2003 isnt that different from it's predecessor, but this book covers all the new features very well (and unlike the Exchange 2000 version of this book - it isnt based on a RC).

Buy it.
