Skip This Book

By M. Brown - January 4, 2010

This book only contians a very basic overview of the nessisary concepts. If you are only interested in a high level overview then this book is for you. However if you actually need to implement Exchange Server 2010 then you should find a different book.

For instance; This book DOES NOT explain the folowing:

- Explain a migration plan from 2003 or 2007 to 2010. This book glosses over all of the requierments of how to do a migration. This book completely fails in this regaurd.

- How to configure Outlook Web Access (OWA). It skips the whole topic of SSL certificates and the need for them.

- How to configure Outlook Anywhere. This book only makes mention of how you click on the link to enable Outlook Anywhere; it does not tell you how to setup everything so that it will actually work.

- How to setup your server for Database Availability Groups (DAG's). This book skips all of the nessisary steps in configuring your server for... read more

very basic !

By Nawar Aljanabi "GS" - February 6, 2010

Very basic overview of Exchange 2010 and its features. I am really disaapointed,comparing this to the same book for Exchange 2007. The book has alot of copy/paste information from the Exchagne 2007 version. It wont go over level 200 in depth of informaiton. Where is DAG, CAS Array, Shadow redudnacy,ECP details,RBAC ?!

Several editing errors and to long

By Matthew Cline - March 1, 2010

Very, very disappointed by this book.
The editing was just plain shocking, in several instances it uses the incorrect version of Exchange, eg, Exchange 2007 introduced the Unified Messaging Role and Exchange 2007 has built on that
In the section on securing Exchange with ISA the author uses the wrong product altogether changing Exchange 2010 for SharePoint.
The book is about 500 pages too long as well. Every time a concept is discuses it seems that the authors felt the need to define it EVERY TIME. This lead to me skipping large portions of the book because it had already been discussed in earlier chapters.

I would recommend getting the Pocket Administrators Consultant as that is a significantly better book.
