This seems to be a good book for overall daily use and configurations. I used it to configure a test lab for my MCSE testing. It helped me out in a pinch on some areas. Well worth the price I paid for it.

This review is from: Using Microsoft Exchange Server (Using ... (Que)) (Paperback)

I bought this book in a bit of rush about a year ago because I was starting a new contract with a company upgrading to 5.5, and my experience was with 4.0 and 5.0. For me this book told me nothing I could not find out for myself by a couple of hours playing with V5.5 or just reading the release notes. However a beginner may find it a reasonable introduction, but it isn't post MCSE material.

This review is from: Using Microsoft Exchange Server (Using ... (Que)) (Paperback)

This book doesn't seem to cover in detail about our real world situation. That is -- having multiple Exchange servers with different versions throughout the organization. It does a great job explaining about each function within Microsoft Exchange administrator and Outlook. But lacks examples to help readers understand.
