Reviews


A real-world handbook
Within minutes, this book and I were solving problems. The table of contents reads like a laundry-list of common Exchange configuration and management issues; each chapter takes a moment to explain the pieces of the puzzle, then provides step-by-step instructions for practical tasks. The conversational tone is frank and confident, conveying a sense of real-world experience.



An example: "One of the biggest complaints I hear about getting RPC over HTTP to work is that the instructions are not very good, missing, or just wrong. For that reason, I'm creating a step-by-step guide that includes the instructions I have found useful for successfully getting RPC over HTTP to work properly."



Sure enough, the instructions were direct and to-the-point, and the procedure worked flawlessly to do just what I wanted to do. This book is exactly what I was looking for.

Great book
Even after three years of using exchange 2003 I still sometimes use this book. I would recomend it to anybody who has to manage exchange servers.

Excellent Book for day to day Admins!
I started out with step by step Exchange instruction books and, although they were useful and helpful, I was eventually left wanting. Especially for best practices, day to day stuff, security, and disaster recovery. Then I stumbled on this book and haven't looked back. In a confident, friendly voice McBee guides you through some of the most complex subjects and practices related to Exchange, and when he's done you won't be left hanging. I see he's just released an updated version. Can't wait to get my hands on it.

Great resource for any Exchange Administrator
I have used this book for about a month now, and so far I have found it to be a very valuable resource. It does not spend a lot of time on migration strategies, so if this is what your are looking for you should find another book. Exchange Server 2003 24seven focuses on the day to day tasks any good Exchange Admin should be doing, plus some insight into how to do certain tasks that M$ doesnt tell you how to do. I would recommend this book to anyone trying to support any sized Exchange environment.

Some useful info but must wade through chatty kathy style
I need to learn Exchange Fast. Too many paragraphs seem to open or be sprinkled with dialog that doesn't pass on substantive information. For instance, "If you are like me, you are saying to yourself...'self..." or "One of the most discouraging things is for a user to call up and say they can't reach domain xyz." Multiply this by 300 and 30% of the book is fluff.

I just cringe at the waste of time and pages with this style. I don't want to know how my soul will feel about an issue: Just note the issue and the data. If I want clever, I'll turn on Chris Rock or Steve Martin. If I want emotional hand holding, I'll turn on "The View" or Lifetime TV. I am returning this book. It won't do as a reference because of all the fluff. Many books are categorized by their size, and perhaps this was his way of making a bigger book that would look like it held more info or, in some cases, the author is payed by the word count?

When I started reading, "Red Hat Enterprise Linux & Fedora Edition" I was blown away by the economical useful information presented in orderly paragraphs, helpful bulleted lists - pure information transfer. If Mr. McBee wrote in that style, I could learn without fluff induced frustration.
