OK if you are upgrading from 5.5
This book is more of an overview of Exchange 2000 as compared to 5.5. Its not going to be very helpful if you are looking for the nitty gritty, and its not going to be helpful if you aren't already an Exchange admin. Also, its not a good reference book, and is only useful if you read it through.

Buy this one!
I like this book. I work as an Exchange consultant and I use the book a lot, both as a reference guide and to get new ideas. I think the level is great, not too much "click here, click there" (just guidelines to good problem solving). I can definitely recommend this book, maybe not to the absolute beginners but for sure to every Exchange administrator with anger to take the system to a greater level.
A great thing about this book is the comparison between old versions and the current version.Concerning the bad index someone wrote about, I know that was a mistake by Coriolis (the publishers) but all the books with a non matching index should be destroyed, if you got a book with a bad index from Amazon just return the book and get a new one.

Do not try and use as a reference
Notwithstanding the long and mainly complimentary review currently posted about this book, potential purchasers should be aware of a MAJOR drawback in the copy I purchased - The Index bears NO RELATION WHATSOEVER to the contents of the book. Therefore, while the book does contain some good information, it is only good to read through and not to use as a reference book for when you need that key piece of info, unless you are prepared to locate the chapter and skim thru it - unacceptable in my opinion. The 800 # for Coriolis (the publishers) was also out of service when I attempted to call them about it.In my opinion a better book, that I have read also, is Exchange Server 2000: The Complete Reference published by Osbourne - more detail, clearer examples and a whole chapter on migration/upgrade and co-existence with v5.5 which is vital unless your organisation is relatively small. AND it's cheaper!!! The other I would consider, on recommendation from others, would be the Sybex Exchange book in the great "Mastering...." series. I'm told it's good and I can believe it - the Windows 2000 Server book in the same series by Minasi is the absolute bible in my view - no-one should be without a copy.
