(Hide Review...)  Poor resource
Reviewer Permalink
I was pleased to see a PowerShell resource for Exchange 2007. However, when I receive this it did not satisfy either of my two desires: 1) to learn more about the fundamentals of PowerShell (such as effective using pipilining), 2) better administering Exchange 2007 from the PowerShell.

This book just seemed to have cherrypicked topics from a standard implementing Exchange 2007 and threw together a punch of cmdlet references. My coworker and I went through the book and came out more confused than before we started with the book.

Stick with the Exchange Tech Center and the online help and you will be better off than with this reference.

(Hide Review...)  May be good for day to day admin work....
Reviewer Permalink
But they left out a big section regarding migrations. Having just completed migrating 2000 mailboxes, I found this book to be rather useless in that task. It may be good for day to day admin, and it may be good at creating 1000 mailboxes automatically, but it had little to no information on scripts and recommendations for automating a migration.

(Hide Review...)  PowerShell for E2K7 SP1
Reviewer Permalink
This is a good book for Exchange Administrators. i have quite a few E2K7 books including the MS Press E2K7 Admin Companion and some of the earlier PowerShell books to include MONAD. this is a very easy read/reference book that gives you solid examples of how to use PowerShell. what i would have liked was a comprehensive listing of ALL options and a good reference is technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124413%28EXCHG.80%29.aspx it breaks down cmdlets by role so you can choose exactly what you want with specifics.
Bottom line, good book for both novices and experts.

(Hide Review...)  Exchange 2007 Command Shell - It's about time
Reviewer Permalink
It's about time this book was written and published. If you own one or more of the half-dozen E2k7 books that have been written and published in the past year, you have just one more to pick up - this one. This book is written to be exactly what E2k7 administrators need after their initial installation of Exchange. Nearly all E2k7 books focus on the management of E2k7 but primarily from the Exchange Management Console perspective. (Actually, a book that does a very good job on command shell topics is the "Mastering Exchange Server 2007" book by Gerber and McBee. It's very good.)

Also covered in the book are topics of Troubleshooting, SCC and CR high-availability shell strategies. These three topics alone are worth the price of the book - to have all the PowerShell cmdlets in one place is truly convenient.

If you are looking for a excellent book on Exchange Command Shell from A to Z - and NOT generic Powershell coverage and Exchange-absent ramblings - then pick this book up. It's a resource for us messaging consultants and admins. who don't want to be Powershell gurus - just real good at Exchange Command Shell.
