Summary: All you ever wanted to know about the ADC and SMTP
Comment: I don't know which of the two authors knows SMTP and which knows ADC, but it's obvious that the two topics form the cornerstone of this book. The authors are happy to discuss their pet topics but give relatively little attention to anything else. Because of this, the book reads like an in-depth discussion of attribute mapping between the Exchange DS and the Active Directory followed by a review of how messages find their way through the routing engine. If you're happy with that, buy the book, but if you expect to learn more about how Exchange interoperates with Windows and IIS (both pretty fundamental points for infrastructure) and how to protect Exchange 2000 in a secure manner, go elsewhere.

Summary: Misleading Book Title
Comment: This book is a disappointment. It was purchased in the belief that it will inform you about infrastructre design. Warning: it does not. In fact, the book is all about the workings of the ADC (and to a certain extent, the SRS) and routing in Exchange 2000. For example, pages 23-93 and 127-150 are about the ADC. Pages 193-337 are about how the SMTP service works and routing in Exchange 2000. So that's over 70% of the book on the ADC and SMTP alone!
If it were entitled "Migrating to Exchange 2000" would it get a better score? Sadly, no. As the above statistics demonstrate, there's huge amounts on the ADC. However, sections such as client issues, storage groups / databases and inter-migration routing issues (to name three randomly) are absent. The latter is surprising given the coverage of SMTP in the book.
So what is this book about and who should read it? It feels as if the author has picked two unrelated facets of Exchange in which he is very familiar and written vast amounts about it! Therefore, if you want or need to know about the ADC, particularly if you need to customise it, the SRS and how SMTP works in Exchange 2000, then this is definitely the book for you. If, however, you want a book on Exchange 2000 infrastructure design or even migrating to Exchange 2000, then this is not the book for you.

Summary: THE Exchange 2000 Book for Email/Directory Pros
Comment: I've been working in messaging and directory services for a decade, and this is the first book I've found that dives behind the Exchange GUIs to tell me what is actually going on. I can't recommend it highly enough, especially for those who are already comfortable with X.500, LDAP, and SMTP services.
