Editorial Reviews

The Barnes & Noble Review
OK, you’ve successfully deployed Microsoft Exchange Server 2003. Now it’s your job to manage it. Exchange administration is darned complicated, and most Exchange books cover it all too lightly. That’s why you need this one.

You’ll start by thoroughly mastering Microsoft’s high-level framework for managing Exchange (and other MS enterprise apps, too). Then, the details. Working with tools ranging from MMC to ESEUTIL. Managing organization topologies. Configuring Outlook Web Access. Managing connectivity, recipients, address lists, backup/recovery, viruses, and spam. Monitoring everything from policies to SLA compliance.

The book is replete with specific support scenarios -- drawn from HP’s experience supporting enterprise Exchange installations with over 5 million users. It’s as close to definitive as anyone is likely to get. Bill Camarda
