This review is from: Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Administrator's Pocket Consultant (Pro Administrator's Pocket Consultant) (Paperback)

William Stanek has been my favorite tech author for many years now. Ever since starting with Windows NT Pocket Consultant in 1999, I've been hooked.

He packs more into his books than any one. It's always clear and to the point, and it's one of the reasons his books are my favorites.

With almost 17 years of Win experience under my belt, I got this book to sharpen up on the newest version of Exchange. The stuff in here is amazing. I've learned a lot of new tricks from this book. Nothing escapes his eye, every section clears up something or gives expert insights in ways i wouldn't have thought of myself.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone upgrading from previous versions and any current administrators. For day to day work it can't be beat. Great work, William !

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for learning or reference, May 15, 2007

This review is from: Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Administrator's Pocket Consultant (Pro Administrator's Pocket Consultant) (Paperback)

This is the first Pocket Consultant book I've purchased. It walked me through all the essentials needed to learn Exchange 2007 (I used the 32-bit evaluation) and it pretty much covers everything.

The author provides examples of using the GUI or CMDlets to configure Exchange. He also provides valuable real-world tips. This one will be used often when it's time for deployment!

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, October 2, 2007

This review is from: Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Administrator's Pocket Consultant (Pro Administrator's Pocket Consultant) (Paperback)

The best thing about this book is the low price. Most of the commands in the book that I have tried are not correct or don't exist. Because of this, many examples examples do not work. There has to be a better reference for Exchange 207.
