Exchange 2007 represents the biggest advance in the history of Microsoft Exchange Server technology. Given Exchange's leap to x64 architecture and its wide array of new features, it isn't surprising that the SP1 release of 2007 would be particularly robust in terms of hotfixes, security enhancements and additional functionality.

Tony Redmond's upgraded edition of his popular Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 bible features extensive coverage of the significant changes and additions offered with SP1. Every chapter has been updated, with particular focus on the most pivotal aspects of SP1, including:

*install enabling on Windows Server 2008
*IVp6 support
*Unified Messaging inclusion
*EMC enhancements
*Client Access Improvements for Outlook Web Access and Activesync
*New user interfaces for POP3 and IMAP4
*System resource monitoring and message routing improvements
*New features for the mailbox server role
*.pst file data managment improvements
*new high-availability features
*optimization for mobile access
*and much more!

*Complete coverage of all the updates in SP1 ensure admins skip the initial 2007 release's bugs and upgrade with ease

*Written by HP Services CTO Tony Redmond, the world's most trusted author of Exchange books for over a decade

*250+ pages of updates throughout, including totally new sections on Windows 2008 compatibility, Microsoft Yona, Windows Mobile 6 and 6.1 devices, Apple iPhone, and more!

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/

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book for a production Exchange environment, October 19, 2009

This review is from: Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 with SP1: Tony Redmond's Guide to Successful Implementation (Paperback)

This is a great book about Exchange Server 2007. It more useful for helping you use the product on a day-to-day basis in a production environment than it for studying to pass the three MCITP Exchange Server tests, so please be aware of that before you buy it. I keep a copy of it right on my desk (which I don't often do), and besides TechNet, use it as my primary Exchange reference. Tony Redmond has a very readable writing style, and despite it being over 1000 pages, isn't long-winded. On a lighter note, it is a heavy book, so if you buy two of them, you can use them as a hand weight set. hahaha

This review is from: Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 with SP1: Tony Redmond's Guide to Successful Implementation (Paperback)

I'm just beginning the book, and find it useful. There are, however, many spelling and grammatical errors. Regarding the grammar, I'm talking about missing words and words out of order that can trip you up. You'd think a book written about computer technology would have actually used computer technology to find these mistakes.
