Managing Microsoft Exchange Server

by Paul Robichaux

Microsoft Exchange is a big, complicated application; it requires more disk storage than Windows NT Server and has several hundred configuration property pages and dialogs. But it is also a very powerful and flexible messaging system. However, knowing that it can be made to do something and understanding how to do it are often worlds apart. Managing Microsoft Exchange Server bridges this gap. This book is a no-nonsense, practical guide to planning,...

Customer Reviews

Excellent book

I inherited an Exchange 5.5 server from a previous admin about 2 years ago. I had very limited knowledge of Exchange prior to that. This book gave me an excellent understanding of Exchange. Robichaux's writing style makes this book very readable. Paul, please come out with the Exchange 2000 book!

If I were stranded on a desert island...

If I had to choose but two MS Exchange books for my arsenal, this would absolutely be one of them. The other would have to be Barry Gerber's "Mastering Exchange Server 5.5"Paul Robichaux has done an EXCELLENT job of filling in what few gaps Barry Gerber left in his book. Where Gerber provides an excellent guide to setting up and getting to know Exchange, Robichaux takes you deeper into more "advanced" administrative issues such as disaster recovery, security, enabling Exchange for remote users, etc.If you manage an Exchange server or servers for your orginzation, this book is indispensible. Hats off to the author!

Get Your Hands On This Hands-on Advice Book

Paul Robichaux's MANAGING MICROSOFT EXCHANGE SERVER is a "must-have" for your bookshelf. It is one of those rare technical books that you can both enjoy by simply sitting down and reading it (cover to cover), or using it as a reference book, when you find your Exchange in trouble. For me, it has already more than paid for itself.

More than a "what you can do" book

This book is EXCELLENT! I'm brand new to Exchange server and needed more than a "let's talk about all the features" book. I needed a book that could outline the theory AND the setup. This book did that and more. The information is concise, thorough and has good coverage of the basic client setups too. Though, you will still need something else for a thorough implemation of your client base. This book covers everything, including the connectors, information stores, IMS, NNS, and mailbox setups. Paul also, gives you many alternative methods of doing things like mailbox delegation. The clear "How-to" instructions are wonderful and Paul outlines the theory exquisitely. This is the Echange 5.5 Bible I have been looking for.

WOW! Great book!

WOW! Great book! I am not bragging, but I want to qualify my experience with Exchange and technical books. I am an MCSE and an MCT. I teach Windows 9x, Windows NT Server, Windows NT Workstation, Windows NT Enterprise, IIS, Proxy, TCP/IP, Exchange and more... I have also co-authored and edited several Windows NT books. This is one of the most technically accurate and readable books that I have read in a long time. I am actually reading it cover to cover and I am enjoying every page. JOB WELL DONE! Thanks!
