Customer Reviews & Comments
This book only contians a very basic overview of the nessisary concepts. If you are only interested in a high level overview then this book is for you. However if you actually need to implement Exchange Server 2010 then you should find a different book.
For instance; This book DOES NOT explain the folowing:
- Explain a migration plan from 2003 or 2007 to 2010. This book glosses over all of the requierments of how to do a migration. This book completely fails in this regaurd.
- How to configure Outlook Web Access (OWA). It skips the whole topic of SSL certificates and the need for them.
- How to configure Outlook Anywhere. This book only makes mention of how you click on the link to enable Outlook Anywhere; it does not tell you how to setup everything so that it will actually work.
- How to setup your server for Database Availability Groups (DAG's). This book skips all of the nessisary steps in configuring your server for two nic's, configuring the heartbeat settings and installing the nessisary cluster resources.
- How to setup multiple Hub Transport or Client Access servers for High Availability. This book only gives lip service to the possibility and does not tell you in any way how to configure multiple servers so that you have a highly available configuration.
