THE Exchange 2000 Book for Email/Directory Pros

I've been working in messaging and directory services for a decade, and this is the first book I've found that dives behind the Exchange GUIs to tell me what is actually going on. I can't recommend it highly enough, especially for those who are already comfortable with X.500, LDAP, and SMTP services.

E2K Migration and Routing Made Easy!

This book raises the bar on technical bookware. The authors take an in-depth view of very technical topics and present it in a way that is both understandable and fun. It covers all you need to know about moving to E2K and advanced routing. Bravo!!

Excellent migration technical resource

Aimed at the technical specialist, and packed with information, this remains an easy read. It begins with the feat of describing salient features of Windows 2000 which define the difference between Exchange 2000 and its previous versions in less than 3 pages! It continues by going deeply into the Active Directory Connector, mixed mode working and other essential items for coexistence with Exchange 5.5. While the first half of the book strongly focuses on the Active Directory aspects of Exchange migration, the remainder concentrates on the messaging technology inside it.The authors know their subject and have real world experience of mail systems. They have had the benefit of talking with key Microsoft Exchange developers and their colleagues world-wide in order to hone their facts. This experience adds great value to the book.They treat the reader as a fellow team member with whom they are sharing their knowledge, often in a humorous lighthearted style. This maintains the reader's interest in the challenging material being presented. This book is a valuable resource for anyone involved in implementing Exchange 2000.
