 Exchange made easy
This is probably one of the best and most pleasant technical books I have ever read.
While not going very deep into details is an excellent source for technical references and it covers most basic administrative tasks in an exchange environment.
It even has a tutorial on creating a 2 node exchange cluster using VMWare workstation that is simple to follow and great source for creating a training/testing environment. I have other books in exchange that are much more technical but I find myself going back to this one for help on some issues. It is a must read book for any exchange administrator.
 Great for Beginners
This book is great for beginning Exchange administrators. I've supported Windows Server systems for over 6 years but my only exposure to Exchange has been on the client side. When I needed to start deploying and supporting Exchange servers I looked for a resource that would explain everything I need to know in enough detail to be helpful but not so much detail as to overwhelm me. This book was exactly was I needed.
Pros: Simple to read and understand. Covers the entire Exchange server lifecylce in enough detail to be truly useful; from installation all the way to troubleshooting when things go wrong.
Cons: An unusually high number of mismatched figures (graphics) in the book; sometimes figure 1 and figure 2 are the same thing! Some grammatical issues that once or twice led to a technical inaccuracy.
Conclusion: If you've been working with Exchange enough to know how to configure full-text indexing, work with address lists, or configure OWA, then you'll need something more advanced than this book. But if you have little to no experience with Exchange, this book is for you!
Great Book
As a seasoned Exchange Admin, I find my self refrencing this book quite a bit. I have read about 60% of the book and find it to be very easy reading to comprehend. Has great examples on how to navigate through the screens and is great for a begginer or novice admin.
Excellent Book
Well written in simple English without a bunch of jargon. I don't think I saw a single instance of the words, "rich" or "robust". Very good book for someone with minimal experience wanting to install Exchange Server for the first time and also an excellent reference guide for those with more experience interested in advanced configurations.
A well written book
When I first started reading this book, I was a bit overwhelmed. Especially while reading the first few pages of chapter 2. Being new to exchange server and never using the product before, and after reading the first few pages of the second chapter, I thought I made a mistake in buying this book.
But as I read more of the chapters, I grew to appreciate the writing style of Mr. Boswell. He explains the most tedious exchange topics in an easily understood manner. He takes you step by step and explains everything in great detail.
If you're looking for a book to pass the MCSE tests, then look further. This book really is geared to truly understanding the product. This book won't give you years of experience in administering an exchange server but it's a great resource for "newbie's" such as me.
