 Exchange 2007 Exam prep |
| Review Date: March 23, 2009 |
| Reviewer: Robbie Blake, Ireland |
| I found the Microsoft Exchange 2007 exam prep book an excellent study guide. The use of a lab setup gives you hands on experience, which strengthens your knowledge and confidence when it comes to the real world environment. The review and test questions, which are found on the accompanied CD ROM, present an exam experience which almost replicates the actual exam. You do need to have availability to a good lab, which can be a problem. |
Good enough for the 70-236 cert

First the negatives
+ Loads of mainly minor editing mistakes everywhere, the main body of the text and Q+A at the end of every chapter,
+ The additional tests on the CD are pretty good, but annoyingly the Q+A are not alligned with the book. In most cases you have to go through 2 chapters before being able to test yourself.
+ In the last chapter LCR is not taken through its logical conclusion.
+ The online site does not provide an errata/corrections list.
Postives
+ Covers the material well enough
+ Each chapter has at its end a Q+A section, to re-enforce learning.
+ You get Exchange 2007 32bit+64bit on to DVD plus additional questions on a CD.
+ loads of screenshots, text pretty easy to read
I used this as my main study tool and passed with 96%, so it does what it says.
I would give it 5 stars, if it didnt has so many annoying errors. I think it is unfair and too harsh to lose more than a single star, as
1. This is a technical book and it has a limited life span (3 years max).
2. The authors and publisher are in a race to produce the book for people like me, I rather have the book now with a few errors rather than wait for another 3 months.
3. Most of the errors probably will be corrected with time. |
Help me pass 70-236 with flying colors

| I bought the book and took the test 3 weeks later. I spent a lot of time reviewing the questions. Although my experience in the IT field was valuable, this book put Exchange 2007 in perspective. Nice job! |
Too bad there are so many errors...

4 stars if it did not have errors.
I bought this book and am currently rereading it. I passed the 70-236 with more than the help of this book. I think the book is a good book to learn Exchange 2007. Unfortunately, it has A LOT of errors. Make sure you go to: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947010/en-us to make the listed corrections to your book. Some are not listed yet (i.e. the Quick Check Answer at the bottom of p233 has a period that should not be there). |
Bad Editing, Very Bad

| Review Date: December 2, 2007 |
| Reviewer: Marvin, Omaha, NE United States |
| This book is actually about a 2.5. I have been working on exchange 2007 now since just days after its release and have been involved in several medium sized company deployments and one 6500 user migration from groupwise. While this book for the most part is ok information it has so many editing errors, and a few major technical erros I stopped writing them down after Chapter 5. Many of the practices/examples in the book especially relating to powershell scripting flat out won't work. For instance they have you write a ps script that will move-mailbox and tell you that you can schedule it. What they don't include with that is move-mailbox contains a confirmation dialog and they do not explain anywhere in the entire book how to get around it. In other words if you do what they say the next morning you will come into a Yes, No, etc prompt. In many of their scripting examples they forget to close a quote or tick which of course makes the examples not work. If you haven't worked with PS or Exchange 2007 you will probably find this book frustrating if not downright maddening due to the poor editing. It would be a good book for a beginner if the editors had simply done their job. The primary reason purchased this book was for exam prep-which it is very good for minus the editing. When I was finished I felt better prepared for the exam but did not really feel as if any professional knowledge was garnered from the read. Lastly the technical ability of the authors is ok, not anywhere near expert, multiple times in the book they suggest NLB for Hub Transport servers which is not supported or recommended...its a terrible idea that causes lots of problems. There were points where I felt they had never actually seen the product or read the documentation, and other parts where I thought they had some generic lab experience with no real world experience. Overall though compared to Tony redmond's Guide to Successful Implementation this is the better of the two books if looking for a cert prep ONLY. If looking for useful knowledge go Unleached or Tony's book or both :) |
