Reader Reviews
Let me start by saying that while it was a good book, I felt it to be a bit thinner than the normal McBee book. I own a small library of Exchange books, accumulated over 14 years supporting Exchange and other messaging systems, and around 15 years in the IT biz. If there was one Exchange 2007 book that I had to put on my shelf, this (and a book on the usage of Powershell in Exchange 2007) would be it. Exchange 2007 brings to bear some of the good things which we were familiar with in Exchange 5.5; a separate SMTP engine (IMC in Exchange 5.5, SMTP Service in Exchange 2000/2003, and Hub/Transport role in Exchange 2003), a separate Outlook Web Access server role (now called CAS in Exchange 2007). Some Exchange admins of today don't remember the concepts of these separate roles and Exchange admins with this background need to become familiar. It's easy to tell that McBee was key in the authoring of this book and uses his great writing skill to further learning the key concepts in the book. I am a former Microsoft MVP, who participated with the LCS and Exchange MVP teams. I also participate in the Exchange forums of Experts Exchange. As such, it is easy to see when a great book is written. Jim McBee has written yet another winner and a great time saver. This book was definitely worth every minute and is only one of two Exchange books I keep at the office. Bob
