I was trying to find information online on MS Exchange replication. MS has terrible documentation. I opened this book to the relevant chapter and had my answer in under 5 minutes. This book is great.

Exchange 2007 is a very big change when compared to its predecessor. Personally, I was interested in getting up-to-speed on it quickly, after having ignored it's introduction to the market last year.
Henrik Walther made that task easy. He comes at the subject from the perspective of an experienced administrator who wants to get right to the things you really need to get done. Exchange is a very complex, very big application, and Henrik's book makes getting into the nuts and bolts of configuring it fast and understandable. If you need to get Exchange up and into production under a tight time schedule, this is your book. Likewise if you need a quick blueprint of how best to configure it for your specific needs.

Love you work on msexchange and use the site regularly but the formating of this book is makes it really annoying to read (not sure if this is common to all 'How to cheat...' books). I suggest the person doing the "How to cheat" layout/formating refer to some of the books below and cut back on the number of different fonts and uses smaller heading sizes.
For peoples reference I have purchased Tom Schinders ISA Books (from ISA 2000 onwards), Mark Minasi's Server books (2000 & 2003), Barry Gerbers Exchange 2000 books plus quite a few others. The books mentioned above I really enjoyed reading and still refer to them extensively. Having current Exchange servers I was looking for a bit more detail about transition to 2000/2003 than the 28 pages of chapter 10. It really didn't provide any extra 'expert' information. (Edit) After leaving the book for a few months I have come back and read it again and have refered to it a few times my opinion has changed regarding the content. I would rate it around 4 stars now (But I can't change the rating?). Chapter 10 was one of the only chapters that was a little 'thin'. Overall it is a good book and once I got over the formatting annoyances I have enjoyed it a lot more second time around. (Review Data Last Updated: 2008-03-16 09:24:24 EST)

Sorry Henrik,
Love you work on msexchange and use the site regularly but the formating and layout of this book is makes it really annoying to read (not sure if this is common to all 'How to cheat...' books). I found it didn't really provide a lot of addition information, tips tricks and why you would do X. Because of the lack of personal opinion from Henrik I felt it tended to read alot like a Microsoft Reference guide For peoples reference I have purchased Tom Schinders ISA Books (from ISA 2000 onwards), Mark Minasi's Server books (2000 & 2003), Barry Gerbers Exchange 2000 books plus quite a few others. The books mentioned above I really enjoyed reading and still refer to them extensively. I suggest the person doing the "How to cheat" layout/formating refer to those books and cut back on the number of different fonts/sizes. Having current Exchange servers I was looking for a bit more detail about transition to 2000/2003 than the 28 pages of chapter 10. It really didn't provide any extra 'expert' information. Which is why I purchase books as opposed to going to the technet docs and exchange manuals. Chapters 5-8 that discuss the server roles I enjoyed reading and had a bit more of a personal feel. Again sorry Henrik I really appreciate you work on MSExchange but this book left me a little disappointed (Review Data Last Updated: 2008-02-19 09:35:26 EST)

Having worked with Exchange since 5.0 I have read many installation guides and administrator's handbooks and I would rate this one as the best. I acquired this book after teaching how to configure and install Exchange 2007 to corporate clients and I have since done away with delivering them my own notes and simply recommend that they purchase this book. It is the ultimate guide to installing and configuring Exchange from a technical perspective. Way to go!

By page 4, the editing annoyed me and I picked up the unleashed book. I read all 1000 pages and returned unleashed for this book due to the deeper technical information.
If you like to "read" your technical books, this can get tiring. If you want a great reference with lots of info on the issues you will run into on a 2007 deployment, pick this up. (Review Data Last Updated: 2007-10-13 21:53:09 EST)

I haven't sat down and read the entire book, I have mainly used it as a reference, but it has been a big help so far. The other day I was online reading some documentation on certificates with Exchange 2007, and I was about to print the article because it was so detailed and helpful, when I realized it was an excerpt from this book that I already owned. So I took out the book and read it there instead. I've got a pocket guide and one other reference guide, but this is the one I use most often.

Henrik has provided the Exchange community with plenty of wisdom over the years. This book is just another example of his treatise of this complicated subject. Out of all the Exchange 2007 references in book format, his is on tops. For anyone needing to learn how to install/upgrade and configure Exchange 2007, this reference will provide welcome guidance. Well-done Henrick. (And, who is the hack with the bad evaluation....maybe he needs the pop-up version of the book to make it more clear to him!)

I have been thru four Exchange 2007 books now and I have to say this is one of the better ones. This is not a big book of theory this is a meat and potato type book that is going to tell you exactly what you need to know to get Exchange 2007 up and running. It's a good read and gets to the point.
The author Henrik Walther is a source you can trust. He has written many good Exchange books prior to this and is one of the head webmasters over at [...] so you know your getting correct information. This book is a easy recommend. (Review Data Last Updated: 2007-10-13 21:53:09 EST)

This book is authored by someone in Europe that had worked with the product but does not have the familiarity with it to be an expert.
Does not discuss an upgrade from Exchange 2003 or 2000 just a new install. I guess this would have taxed his knowledge and he did not have the time to do an upgrade. (Review Data Last Updated: 2007-07-08 07:19:30 EST)

I am going to keep this short, but the book is excellent. It's quick and to the point. The book is well thought out and consistent with tons of "how-to's", gotchas to be aware of, and implication scenarios.
This is not a 1300 page lecture on why Microsoft did "this or that". It's not a primer for learning the SMTP protocol. It is the first book to buy if you need to get Exchange 2007 installed and tested quickly. Further, Henrik has some updated articles that he references in the book which you can find on his website (in the book). Let me also give a bad mark to Syngress....I cannot register the book yet (they told me it wasn't in their database, if you can believe that) and as such cannot get some of the free e-booklets. Shame on you Syngress; Kudos to you Henrik! (Review Data Last Updated: 2007-07-08 07:19:30 EST)
