4.0 out of 5 stars Unleashed But Not Free, April 26, 2007
By 
BEC (Brooklyn, NY) - See all my reviews
Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 or MOSS2007 is actually a powerful set of building blocks that can be used for numerous things in organizations of almost any size. (Size matters as you do need to be able to afford the licenses for MOSS, Windows Server and SQL Server.) Microsoft SharePoint 2007 Unleashed does justice to the scope of the product it's covering.

At over 776 pages, the book is as large as the subject. Since Microsoft's documentation is still somewhat sparse, it's also a very good thing that this book is as thorough as it is. Does it cover everything? I don't think that's possible. What it does cover though is thorough and for the things I've checked, accurate. It is especially helpful in areas where Microsoft has not been so helpful. For example in the use of the stsadm.exe command line tool. While Microsoft's on-line documentation (you have to visit Microsoft Technet sites to get this information - it doesn't come with the software) describes the technique and has sample syntax, the descriptions and samples are in the form of a "man" page: sparse in detail and often unclear in practice. Following Microsoft's docs requires trial and error. Noel and Spence provide concise examples and samples, including a whole script for automating backup. (I haven't tried the script yet, but even it it needs tweaking, it will be very helpful.)

What's missing? Hard to say, but there's one web part that's installed as part of the default MOSS setup: "I need..." This appears to be a type of search/navigation tool, but I can't find it described anywhere, nor can I find out how to configure and use it. Not at Microsoft, and not in this book nor another book I'm reviewing. This may be my problem, but it illustrates how broad the scope of a product like MOSS is and how challenging it can be to document it.

All that said, the book provides very good guidelines in site planning an implementation, integration with MS Office 2007 and other applications, security configuration and more.

It will be a valuable addition to my library and should be part of yours as well.

4.0 out of 5 stars A book for MOSS administrator, October 8, 2007
So far I have read 5 books about SharePoint 2007. This is my fifth book in this subject. This book is different. This book is for IT system administrators and not for developers. However, as a consultant for SharePoint 2007 development, I find that this book reveals the administration considerations I usually ignore. Therefore, my review is based on the uniqueness of this book.

Pros:
1. This book is an excellent resource for system administrators. It covers most of SharePoint administration I can think of. In addition, the authors provide guide lines for SharePoint migration, the integration of SharePoint 2007 / Exchange 2007 / ISA 2006 / Forefront, and farm planning. These are the gems of this book. You can not afford to skip the chapters about application of Exchange/ISA/Forefront in Internet SharePoint 2007 environment.

Cons:
1. Tables and Figures are printed in small fonts. I would prefer a bigger font size.
2. This book is around 800 pages, and is written for system administrators. If you are a developer, you might be disappointed because there are only a few lines of code.
3. The authors discuss the SharePoint infra-structure including Exchange/ISA/Forefront. However, the lab environment is not designed that way. So the readers who want to do exercise might be disappointed.

My personal recommendation: If you are MOSS and WSS administrator, you must have this book. If you are a versatile consultant, this book should be a good reference on your book shelf. If you are a pure hand-on developer and new to SharePoint, you might opt to choose code-intensive books such as Inside SharePoint Service 3.0 by Ted Pattison.

I rate the book four stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Sharepoint book I own...and I own 5 of them!, September 19, 2007
I bought this book as it is a complete overview of every aspect of a Sharepoint 2007 implementation than any other book I have. It covers best practices for everything from what kind of site template to use to what are the best security methods for your SQL database. Very thorough and the best book on Sharepoint 2007 out there. It is in depth enough to get the job done but not so deep that there isn't room for the entire project plan of a Sharepoint implementation.

If you are like me and the ONLY resource in your company for installing, implementing, administering and rolling out Sharepoint, this is the book for you.
