Finding ways to make the transition better.

I 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

Good but let down by the Index

The book seems good and goes into alot of detail in some sections. Haven't really read enough of the book at this stage to comment further. However...The index looks like an after-thought in the copy I have. It has blank pages throughout which should have index entries on them and all lines are double spaced so the index uses many more pages than is necessary. This may be just a printing problem and I expect that this is fixed in later print runs. Still, not really good enough for a book that costs $130 (in Australia).

Get this book!

If you plan to evaluate and/or deploy Exchange 2000, this book is a must have! It provides project planning, prototyping - to such an extent that it provides testing templates/criteria for Anti-Virus product evaluations; bare bones minimum deployment to advanced deployment topics such as Instant Messaging and Outlook Web Access. This book speaks to both the consultant AND the day-to-day administrator. For instance, they include hardware requirements for every scenerio you can think of, project templates, and especially nice for consultants, a functional spec template. That won me over completely. This was my best buy of the year!
