Customer Reviews & Comments
I am going to keep this short, but the book is excellent. It's quick and to the point. The book is well thought out and consistent with tons of "how-to's", gotchas to be aware of, and implication scenarios.
This is not a 1300 page lecture on why Microsoft did "this or that". It's not a primer for learning the SMTP protocol. It is the first book to buy if you need to get Exchange 2007 installed and tested quickly. Further, Henrik has some updated articles that he references in the book which you can find on his website (in the book).
Let me also give a bad mark to Syngress....I cannot register the book yet (they told me it wasn't in their database, if you can believe that) and as such cannot get some of the free e-booklets. Shame on you Syngress; Kudos to you Henrik!
