Summary: Dirt
Review: Even a beginner should avoid this book. To begin with, the book is littered with grammatical and graphical errors, as well as poor explanations for configuring sites. Secondly, the author spends more time trying to SELL MS Exchange rather than showing you how to CONFIGURE it; I mean really, there should be a law against abusing the word "robust". I was warned about books like this one waaaay back in school (something about a 10-foot pole).

Summary: Nothing that can't be found in MS's manuals.
Review: 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.

Summary: The least recommended reference on the market!
Review: I thought this book was a bit lite on the subjects that are needed to run exchange server effectively. I did a lame job of explaining interconnectivity with other types of email servers. Overall I'd say this book is more of a general guide to exchange, if your looking for an advanced book I'd suggest that you look for a different book.

Summary: Good for overall useage and details
Review: Ok, so my first exchange install was 5.0 a couple of years back - but now owning both versions of the Using Exchange Server books and extensive Exchange Admin experience - I gotta tell ya - there has to be a better book out there.It seems that the layout and general reading of this book are almost identical to the earlier edition - dry, dry and dry. Missing real world issues with installation errors you may run into and common maintence proceedures that a typical Exchange Admin might follow.

Summary: For stand alone Server only
Review: 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.

Review: 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.
