Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - 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).



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Microsoft, this book needs help!
I was amazed at how poorly a book can be written. Where was the editor on this book? DO NOT purchase this book to pass exams. You will get things wrong on the exams because of this book and the poor explanations.

Next at a time when CD's at the end of the book contain video and audio, perfectly matched questions to the book and explanations to the answers that allow you to click back to the section to read why the answer they chose is correct, this book DOES NOT do that at all. The ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Don't buy this book to pass the exam
This book is HORRIBLE. This is my 3rd Microsoft book that I have purchased and I will not be buying any more. My logic was "a Microsoft book should help me pass a Microsoft test right?" WRONG.

First of all, the book is FILLED with blatant mistakes and misspelled words. A pattern I've noticed with the Microsoft books is that they fill you with 95% of stuff that's not covered on the exam. So when you take the test, I can guarantee you will see things on the test that weren't in the book. ... Read More



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - If you are looking for a headache dont look any further!!
After 2(fulltime)days, i am at page 124!?!?!?!? Due to the poor editing examples walkthroughs etc. You spend your time more Googling for resolving errors and why stuff don't work like the writers intended to work. Now i am not a newbe in this field and working in the ICT for the last 10 years. I have installed on a 2003 box sql 2005 IIS6 and and exchange 2007. And used 2007 to get mail functionality within PHPBB. It took me almost a week(SQL rights with IIS6) and setting up the database. But after 2 ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - 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.
