Amazon.com Review:
Using Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 provides the serious detail about practical, day-to-day Exchange work that network managers or system administrators who are responsible for a large-scale Microsoft Exchange deployment in the real world want. The book probes Exchange administration and configuration details in incredible depth, comprehensively taking on everything from network topology to site management and remote access management to connections with all major networks and protocols. In addition, the book features a healthy analysis of practical system management and security issues, and a final dose of client configuration and programming information. This well-written and valuable guide shows the Information Technology (IT) manager the technical nuts and bolts of Exchange Server.
Summary: Good for overall useage and details
Rating: 5
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.
Summary: Yikes, I can’t believe I used this for my first install!
Rating: 2
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: The least recommended reference on the market!
Rating: 3
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: Nothing that can’t be found in MS’s manuals.
Rating: 1
Why bother? To me, the author seemed to have vitually no insights or experience to share with the reader. Virtually everything in here was a recapitulation of the basic Microsoft exchange manuals or information found online. I was astounded by the absolute lack of any new or useful information in this book. If you’re hungry for information, this is like eating foam.
Summary: Que doesn’t usually disappoint….

I administer a relatively small company’s network and while some of the issues I have related to Exchange are also of a small scale this book was ineffective at answering even those questions.
It was especially light on covering the integration of Exchange server with client-side software like Outlook 9x. Also, the importance of regular maintenance and how to perform said maintenance was grossly understated and glossed over. One might almost say misleading.
Look elsewhere for answers.
