Summary: As an implementation companion it failed!
Comment: I bought this as a reference companion to a recent Exchange 2K implementation. Unfortunately, I ended up using it very lightly.
The format of the chapters is mostly scenario concepts that dive into some details pertinent to each. The primary text being scenario based causes me to thumbs-down the general layout of the book.
I was unsatisfied when looking to the index for topics that would give me practical understanding, and therefore some guidance on best practice for certain Exchange 2K topics. The book kept on about the ideas of possible implementation and specific case studies it includes.
I may read through it again for some general less practical Exchange 2K knowledge, but I expected quality like that from the Windows 2000 Server Resource Kit, but not so.

Summary: Finding ways to make the transition better.
Comment: I have been working with Exchange Servers for about 2 years, and now I in the process of going to Exchange 2000. I thought this would be a fairly transparent transition. After reading through this book I was amazed at how much work goes into the migration and upgrade.
From the planning of Exchange 2000 in an NT environment, to deploying and using Active directory services to over a 100 pages for upgrading and testing, which I found to most important reading.
Also there is discussion of the clients, working with applications that integrate with Outlook and exchange as well as Terminal Server and Outlook Web Access. I have already used or will be using several ideas that I learned from this book.
Finally there is a cd with tools and utilities included that help diagram the topology and another for modifying the Global Address list. Working with a couple of other people and using this book, the transition should be less complicated that I first thought

Summary: Not as good as the Win2k resource kit
Comment: I own the Win2k resource kit which proved to be an excellent source of information, no matter what topic (well almost).
I didn't find the Exchange resource kit that useful for looking up information - the book seems like a collection of case studies rather than a list of facts. It always takes a long time to find information in the book.
Get this book if your task is to plan a complex Exchange 2000 scenario (which I wouldn't dare to do anyway - due to it's flakyness) which involves careful planning. Otherwise I would look for something else.
The only thing I liked was the included CD ...
