Reader review(s):

Excellent migration technical resource, November 23, 2001
Aimed at the technical specialist, and packed with information, this remains an easy read. It begins with the feat of describing salient features of Windows 2000 which define the difference between Exchange 2000 and its previous versions in less than 3 pages!

It continues by going deeply into the Active Directory Connector, mixed mode working and other essential items for coexistence with Exchange 5.5. While the first half of the book strongly focuses on the Active Directory aspects of Exchange migration, the remainder concentrates on the messaging technology inside it.

The authors know their subject and have real world experience of mail systems. They have had the benefit of talking with key Microsoft Exchange developers and their colleagues world-wide in order to hone their facts. This experience adds great value to the book.

They treat the reader as a fellow team member with whom they are sharing their knowledge, often in a humorous lighthearted style. This maintains the reader's interest in the challenging material being presented. This book is a valuable resource for anyone involved in implementing Exchange 2000.

Misleading Book Title, July 9, 2003
This book is a disappointment. It was purchased in the belief that it will inform you about infrastructre design. Warning: it does not. In fact, the book is all about the workings of the ADC (and to a certain extent, the SRS) and routing in Exchange 2000. For example, pages 23-93 and 127-150 are about the ADC. Pages 193-337 are about how the SMTP service works and routing in Exchange 2000. So that's over 70% of the book on the ADC and SMTP alone!

If it were entitled "Migrating to Exchange 2000" would it get a better score? Sadly, no. As the above statistics demonstrate, there's huge amounts on the ADC. However, sections such as client issues, storage groups / databases and inter-migration routing issues (to name three randomly) are absent. The latter is surprising given the coverage of SMTP in the book.

So what is this book about and who should read it? It feels as if the author has picked two unrelated facets of Exchange in which he is very familiar and written vast amounts about it! Therefore, if you want or need to know about the ADC, particularly if you need to customise it, the SRS and how SMTP works in Exchange 2000, then this is definitely the book for you. If, however, you want a book on Exchange 2000 infrastructure design or even migrating to Exchange 2000, then this is not the book for you.

THE Exchange 2000 Book for Email/Directory Pros, April 7, 2002
I've been working in messaging and directory services for a decade, and this is the first book I've found that dives behind the Exchange GUIs to tell me what is actually going on. I can't recommend it highly enough, especially for those who are already comfortable with X.500, LDAP, and SMTP services.

E2K Migration and Routing Made Easy!, December 9, 2001
This book raises the bar on technical bookware. The authors take an in-depth view of very technical topics and present it in a way that is both understandable and fun. It covers all you need to know about moving to E2K and advanced routing. Bravo!!

All you ever wanted to know about the ADC and SMTP, July 23, 2003
I don't know which of the two authors knows SMTP and which knows ADC, but it's obvious that the two topics form the cornerstone of this book. The authors are happy to discuss their pet topics but give relatively little attention to anything else. Because of this, the book reads like an in-depth discussion of attribute mapping between the Exchange DS and the Active Directory followed by a review of how messages find their way through the routing engine. If you're happy with that, buy the book, but if you expect to learn more about how Exchange interoperates with Windows and IIS (both pretty fundamental points for infrastructure) and how to protect Exchange 2000 in a secure manner, go elsewhere.
