Showing its age, but some good stuff

I guess it is hard to produce a book at the start of a product's development cycle, so anything written in 2000 has to be looked at with some skeptism in 2003 as so much has changed between now and then. However, while the technology has moved on, the advice here is pretty solid. It just needs to be updated with everything that has happened since 2000 (like the Exchange service packs). I assume that the publisher will employ a new copy editor to pick up the typos, but there does seem to be a second edition around because I couldn't find some of the problems reported in other reviews in my copy. It'll be interesting to see what Redmond makes of Exchange 2003 when it hits the streets.

Tony Redmond seems to have written this book without using this product in anger. There is very little here that you wouldn't have figured out after an hour with a lab setup. I'm also dissapointed to see that he is still trotting out the same old generic advice.

Not Too Bad But Falls Short

Hefty at over 1,000 pages and more text than graphics, it can be boring. Cisco texts have more graphics and useful ones at that. However, it does cover a number of topics, but can be found in other books as well. Worst of all, it doesn't include any CD-ROM with an electronic version or handy utilities that other books offer.

Poorly editing and many mistakes

The author of this book is supposedly a renowned expert on Exchange server, but the author's abilities with Exchange did not carry through to the book. It is obvious that he has a lot of experience with Exchange, but he or his editors do a very poor job of organization information in to a readable format. I found numerous typographical errors and technical errors in the book and I found screen shots in the book that simply do not exist in the real product. I can only assume that the author wrote this book while the product was in the beta cycle and it is not based on the real version. This seems to be a very disappointing publishing industry trend these days. If the publisher decides to release a second edition, I highly recommend that the book be completely reviewed and reorganized to better convey the information in it. There is some good information here littered in amoungest the trivia and the incorrect information, but it is hard to find. Also, the book binding is glued/assembled very badly; mine fell apart after only a week's use.

Most Good, Some Bad

In the Exchange community Mr. Redmond has developed a well-earned reputation as the leading source of expert information concerning the installation and upkeep of Exchange servers. This book will do nothing to damage this reputation. Even the kitchen sink is included in this monster tome.That said, previous negative comments about this book deserve some acknowledgement. The book is almost too full of information. This is great for the experienced Exchange administrator, but can be a bit daunting for any novice. This was not the case with Tony's previous Exchange books. As an experienced Exchange administrator, the previous `complaint' is not a problem. However, whoever did the proof reading/copy editing on this book should be fired. To call the typos and editorial problems numerous is an understatement, most laughably an entire bullet pointed paragraph on page 86 preceded with the all-caps comment of `TAKETHISONEOUT'. I can only assume that this paragraph is to be ignored. The quality of the proofing of this book is deplorable. If you are planning to run Exchange 2000 this book is indispensable. It is not quite perfect.
