Customer Reviews

Another Excellent QUE book

I have been using QUE books for about 5 years, I have yet to get a bad one. I was pleased with the depth and the layout of the material in this book. I'm new to Exchange Server, so it was important that I get atleast a basic understanding of the previous 5.5 version, this book goes back to the beginings of messenging and archetecture. Excellent product.

A MUST have for any Exchange Specialist

This is an incredible book. I have used it repeatedly to keep my systems running at their full potential. This is the only book I need for my Exchange Environment. Kent Joshi has assembled a great team to produce this book.

Broad coverage, mostly thorough

20 authors + 1 editor to tackle what has become an enormous product. Several versions ago someone realized that niche books for Exchange were feasible and we saw excellent volumes about just the IMC for instance. Exchange 2000 is like AD and deserves separate volumes for specific areas. It's too bad that a book like this has to be cluttered with migration information about systems that we have almost forgotten. Other chapters, like OWA, are a little light and could use more depth. And you have to wonder how many hard-core administrators will value the Outlook client chapter or Digital Dashboards.That's it for criticism. Browsing this book among others convinced me that it had the best balance for answering administrative questions. Sure the Admin Companion and Pocket Consultant fit into a full time Exchange consultant's library, but this book was the perfect balance if you cannot justify several. Tony Redmond's book will probably come along and knock our socks off, but for now this is the best balance of material on Exchange 2000 for the money.The Tuning and Troubleshooting chapters actually refer to the right tools unlike the Black book. (Even though the reviewers creamed it they did not mention enough of the inaccuracies.) SMTP configuration and NNTP are covered well. Security is tackled twice, with a chapter based on AD and then another with Internet considerations.Having been through the betas and release candidates hunting for information on each new release I found it refreshing to pick up SEU E2K Server and find answers to so many questions. I'm sure you will enjoy the scope of the book, maybe its organization, possibly the writing and, of course, its weight.
