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 Best book on Exchange 2000, December 4, 2000

This review is from: Microsoft Exchange Server for Windows 2000: Planning, Design and Implementation (HP Technologies) (Paperback)

Tony Redmond has proved yet again that he it the worlds leading authority on Exchange. As with his previous two books he has gone into indepth detail of the kind that you just don't find in your average run of the mill MCSE how to guides.

What makes this book such interesting reading is that he has written from real world experience of planning and deploying Exchange 2000 in one of the worlds largest Exchange deployments (Compaq) and from the years he has spent testing Exchange 2000 internally at Compaq.

The technical detail is superb, but written in a no nonsense interesting style that many authors of computer books could learn from. If you want to really learn Exchange 2000 as opposed to just passing an MCP exam this is the book for you

4.0 out of 5 stars Most Good, Some Bad, July 24, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Microsoft Exchange Server for Windows 2000: Planning, Design and Implementation (HP Technologies) (Paperback)

In the Exchange community Mr. Redmond has developed a well-earned reputation as the leading source of expert information concerning the installation and upkeep of Exchange servers. This book will do nothing to damage this reputation. Even the kitchen sink is included in this monster tome.

That said, previous negative comments about this book deserve some acknowledgement. The book is almost too full of information. This is great for the experienced Exchange administrator, but can be a bit daunting for any novice. This was not the case with Tony's previous Exchange books.

As an experienced Exchange administrator, the previous `complaint' is not a problem. However, whoever did the proof reading/copy editing on this book should be fired. To call the typos and editorial problems numerous is an understatement, most laughably an entire bullet pointed paragraph on page 86 preceded with the all-caps comment of `TAKETHISONEOUT'. I can only assume that this paragraph is to be ignored. The quality of the proofing of this book is deplorable.

If you are planning to run Exchange 2000 this book is indispensable. It is not quite perfect.

Tony Redmond pulls together good material to understand the workings of Exchange 2000. His experience with disk assemblies, and optimizing the database are the best you will find. I recommend the book as a study reference as well as a source for optimizing your Exchange databases.
