1.0 out of 5 stars Worst tech book ever., September 5, 2001

By	Patrick R. Jones (Davis, CA United States) - See all my reviews

I am writing this in hopes that no one will make the same mistake and buy this book. This book was of no help to me what so ever during my Exchange install. The book is poorly written. The chapter order makes no sense at all. The index is useless. The whole book seems to be written to tell about Exchange 2000, but not give any useful information. The authors should be ashamed, and I think they would be, but I don't think they read the book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Obtuse reading;, March 13, 2002

By	Charles (Spanish Fork, UT United States) - See all my reviews

This book has some information that is useful, however most of what I needed to know was difficult to find and implement. The lack of useful guidance with clear cut reasoning for milestone steps was frustrating (i.e. organization naming and bringing in additional domains into your empty root that have existing Exchange organization). Buying this book was not the best use of our limited funds!

1.0 out of 5 stars A waste of time and money, April 11, 2004

By	Chad Terry (Anchorage, AK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Unfortunately, someone already used the appropriate title for this book. The alternate name should have indeed been Worst Tech Book Ever.

This book is around 800 pages, and yet devoid of anything resembling useful information.

The illustrations (other than the screen shots) are all either overly complicated, or are not detailed enough. The discussion of protocols, while taking up about a third of the book, is needlessly repetitive and never offers any detail of substance. Additionally, subjects such as backups are covered by a few pages that can best be summed up by "This would be a good Idea".

Really, this is simply terrible.
