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/

This book is one of the best "computer" books I've read. Compared to another book "unleashed" about Exchange 2007, this one gets straight to the heart of Exchange and gives you the knowledge you really need. It doesn't waste half a book explaining things that Exchange administrators should already know. If you need to know how Exchange really works, this is the better book on the market right now.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exceeded my expectations, August 10, 2007

This review is from: Microsoft Exchange Server 2007: Tony Redmond's Guide to Successful Implementation (HP Technologies) (Paperback)

Ive been reading Tony Redmond's Exchange books since the one written for Exchange 4.0 Ive only just started reading the latest one for Exchange 2007 and so far this book has exceeded my expectations. The differences in Exchange 2007 from previous versions are vast, but Tony passes on this knowledge to the reader in a gentle, logical and very readable fashion. I had to smile when previous versions of Exchange were described as "...more like a monolithic messaging behemoth"!

5.0 out of 5 stars The reference you need before you install Exchange 2007, November 15, 2007

This review is from: Microsoft Exchange Server 2007: Tony Redmond's Guide to Successful Implementation (HP Technologies) (Paperback)

I purchased Tony's book after I had previously purchased another book on Exchange 2007. I found the first book too overwhelming with regard to detail and found that I had to read paragraphs when one or two words would have been adequate. Tony Redmond knows his subject; so well that he knows what you need to know, and what you don't. My installation went without a hitch (well, maybe a small hitch here or there). Definately the book for the knowledgable network admin who has had some Exchange and other email experience. Extremely helpful.
