I found the book to be difficult to follow in most areas, particulary in setting up clients and how they communicate with the server. Does anyone know of a good Exchange book, I mean really good from start of the setup (server) to enterprise messaging systems all at a reasonable level of difficulty. e-mail me at venlov@globalserve.net

The Exchange 5 Source Book written by Mann, Bracka, et al is very difficult to follow. It seems like it was written very fast by many people and pulled together at the last minute. There are many disjointed segments that are often repeated in other portions of the book. There are references throughout the book to other sections that in some cases do not even exist. Overall the book is a general overview of Exchange Server and Exchange/Outlook clients. I used the book as a background to the Microsoft course work and did find it to supplement the material somewhat. One notable well-written section is on designing and installing an Exchange system. In addition, some of the material on Internet connections was good. I would recommend waiting for some of the other Exchange 5.0 books that are scheduled for publication in the next few months

This book is pretty general, it gives a good overview, thats about it
