 Very comprehensive guide October 4, 2000
I used this book in preparation for the exam 70-081 and found the labs which are based on Microsoft Official Curriculum very useful. The book deals with everything possible on Exchange 5.5 using lab exercises to demonstrate most of the theory including various connectors, Outlook web access, LDAP, POP3,IMAP and much more. I've used Microsoft Press for my entire MCSE training and this book lives up to the usual high standards.pThe book is large but that is because the objectives of the module are vast. In fact it appears that Microsoft have split the new Exchange 2000 exam into two modules. To gain in-depth understanding of the Exchange system make sure you use this book to give yourself the confidence required for the exam.
A useful resource for the Exchange 5.5 exam September 6, 2000

Having worked my way through this massive book, I was quite surprised by some of the negative reviews it has received.pI used this book to supplement my main Sybex text and I was impressed by the depth of coverage. It covers everything you would every need to know about Exchange and then some. The labs are clear and structured, and fun to work through. The book is well illustrated throughout.pPerhaps its only shortcoming is that the end of chapter questions are not exam like. This may certainly cause problems if the book is used as the only resource for the 70-081 exam. Combine it though with the Sybex or a decent test prep book and you have a virtually unbeatable combination.pOutside the exam the book is useful reference material and unlike purely examcentric books will certainly not be relegated to the garage after the exam.pBe prepared for long nights though as this book is almost 1400 pages!pI got 933 on the exam. A fair portion of the material on the exam was covered by this book and not by the Sybex book.pWell worth the money!

I wasted some time reading this repetitious and wordy book. I could skim for pages to glean a few sentences of substance. Paragraph upon paragraph of information without illustrations. It took me a couple of months before I could pick up Mitch Tulloch's ES5.5 book, which was great.
Incomplete and repetitive. Not enough to pass the test. August 16, 1999

I passed 5 other exams using only the Microsoft Trainig Kits, but I have failed the Exchange Server test twice. This book is far from complete, there are topics in the tests that are not mentioned on the book. To make things worse, some topics are repeated over and over. It seems that a different person has written each chapter, but they forgot to revise how the chapters would fit together (remember the Hubble mirrors fiasco?).

This book is one of the most comprehensive Exchange Server study guides on the market. Its only problems: 1) it's big (1200+ pages), 2) its prose is sometimes difficult, and 3) it repeats itself too often. If it wasn't for these flaws, however, I would give it five stars. The Sybex guide is shorter and better written, but it doesn't cover all the material that this book does.pThis guide is ideal if you are willing to invest the time it takes to learn the material. If you want a shorter exam guide, get the Sybex book (Easlick and Chellis) instead.
