Product Review
Microsoft's Resource Kits aren't just expensive boxed sets that you buy anymore for their utility-packed CD-ROMs.
Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server Resource Kit, typical of the recent additions to the line, backs up its valuable collection of administration utilities with great technical advice, official wisdom, and precise writing. If you know enough about Exchange 2000 Server to recognize the problems that you're going to face in deploying it, this kit will give you the knowledge and tools that you need. It's worth noting that this product has to do primarily with deployment and configuration. Everyday operation of Exchange 2000 Server isn't nearly as difficult as getting the system set up correctly in the first place. The utilities and documentation here help you to get the messaging system off the ground properly.
The authors--who are members of the development team and
Microsoft's consulting arm--explain the options that are available to the administrator at each point, and when each one is appropriate. But they leave up to you the decision about the path to take. This approach, when combined with the high-quality documentation on the
software utilities that ship with this product, is well suited to technically accomplished readers. For concise treatment of Exchange 2000 Server administration issues, especially those that pop up after implementation time, consider
Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server Administrator's Pocket Consultant.
--David Wall Topics covered: Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server, particularly its deployment and initial configuration. Fitting the server into an Active Directory system (both existing and built from scratch); some utilities and text address the problem of dealing with multiple AD forests. Administration goals, including virus control, security, and efficient routing.

Reader ReviewsI have been working with Exchange Servers for about 2 years, and now I in the process of going to Exchange 2000. I thought this would be a fairly transparent transition. After reading through this book I was amazed at how much work goes into the migration and upgrade. From the planning of Exchange 2000 in an NT environment, to deploying and using Active directory services to over a 100 pages for upgrading and testing, which I found to most important reading. Also there is discussion of the clients, working with applications that integrate with Outlook and exchange as well as Terminal Server and Outlook Web Access. I have already used or will be using several ideas that I learned from this book. Finally there is a cd with tools and utilities included that help diagram the topology and another for modifying the Global Address list. Working with a couple of other people and using this book, the transition should be less complicated that I first thought
