Summary: The most helpful book I've ever read on Exchange
Review: If you use Exchange, you need this book. Period. All the new 2003 features are covered. Beginners will find everything they need to get going, while experienced admins will find things they didn't know. (For example, why and how you set RTS values for the X.400 MTA or to configure Outlook Mobile/Web access for firewalls in multiserver configurations).The book even teaches configuring mail support for Outlook and Outlook express. Everything from IMAP to POP3 configuration, accessing multiple mailboxes, delegating access permissions. I'm an die-hard GUI hacker, and the book discusses that, but also goes deep into the details. The books gives pointers on mobile access, web access and all the related wireless issues. It even discusses RPC over HTTP. The most detailed discussion on the data store I've found. Everything you'd expect on storage groups, mailbox stores, public stores, content indexing, replicating public folders. This is an excellent book and I recommend it very highly.

Summary: A must read
Review: In this book Microsoft , takes you all the way from explaining the basic concepts of mail servers and move on to installing, upgrading, migrating and clustering of exchange servers and in a very detailed way with many pictures that helps you understand the product even if you didn't work with it before.
Readers can notice easily the improvements in the MS books released for 2003 products over the ones released before for 2000/NT.
Reading this book will help you for sure do the daily tasks of exchange administration, installing, upgrading, lists, aliases and much more, if you are considering this book for clustering and for advanced recovery techniques you will be disappointed.
Worth reading.

Summary: A great place to start!
Review: There were few books for Exchange 2003 on the market when I picked this book up, which I admit was mostly due to economy more than anything. I was taking a 3-day Exchange 2003 'boot camp' at the time, and found the information in just a fraction of this book for more informative than the class itself. This is actually the first computer book that I've felt compelled to read from cover to cover, it's that easy to understand. Anyone interested in a great all-around guide to Exchange would be hard-pressed to top this book.

Summary: easy to read and surprisingly comprehensive!
Review: This was my first Stanek book and I have to say that I wish that I found him earlier. I cannot express how helpful this book was to me. This book covers a wide range of messaging knowledge with comprehensive, practical procedures. This is a must book for anyone who works with Exchange 2003. If you've already worked with Exchagne 2000 this may be all you need to master the changes for Exchange 2003 and get to work.

Summary: This is one of the best books in my bookcase!
Review: William Stanek has done an outstanding job with this book. "Exchange 2003 Administrator's Pocket Consultant" provides excellent coverage of Exchange essentials. The information is clear, well organized and focusd on what an administrator needs to know. Great book for Exchange 2003 administration - deserves more than 5 stars. This is like an Exchange 2003 bible for the task you do every day. I read it cover to cover, buy the book without hesitation. Great coverage on almost everything about Exchange 2003. Particuarly coverage of client configurations, wireless, web and dial-up access. Excellent coverage of directory services and data store administration. Good coverage of backup and recovery. Great coverage of message transfer, queuing, maintenance and monitoring. This is not designed as a study guide. But definitely can help you in that aspect, I'm using it as an additional resource.
