Thanks for the suggestions, it looks like I have a good deal of reading ahead of me.

To make the best out of an Exchange implementation you really need a set of skills, not just knowing Exchange. Some basic areas to start would be: -Windows 2003 -Active Directory -IIS 6.0 -Exchange 2003 -Microsoft Outlook 2003 Generally Windows 2003 and Active Directory books are one and the same (not always, but most times Windows 2003 books cover AD as well). Some times you can get information on Outlook 2003 in Exchange books, but not enough to learn the actual client. The best way to learn Exchange if you were to ask me would be to learn about Windows 2003 and Active Directory first. Then move on to Exchange 2003 and IIS 6.0. The more I think about it the best way would probably be to study for and pass Microsoft's certification exams as the material generally covers the basics in all the above. In just about every book store I have been in there are books that cover most of the common Microsoft certification tests. That would be where I'd point you to. If you are looking for basic Exchange information, Microsoft's site is full of it. A good place to start would be here: http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/evaluation/whatis.mspx Best regards, Steven -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Al Davis Sent: Thursday, April 07, 2005 9:20 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: newbie help Looked through what they offered but didn't find anything that seemed appropriate. Looked like everything was geared towards experienced Exchange administrators, which is why I posed my question here. Thought there might be a recommendation for someone starting to investigate and learn..... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chris Scharff Sent: Thursday, April 07, 2005 9:10 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: newbie help Have you tried Amazon.com? http://www.swinc.com/resources/books.asp -- Chris Scharff Messaging Services Architect MessageOne [o] 512.652.4500 x244 [m] 512.560.2984 [f] 512.652.4504 > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Al Davis > Posted At: Thursday, April 07, 2005 7:51 AM > Posted To: swynk > Conversation: newbie help > Subject: newbie help > > > > I am looking to launch MS Exchange as a product for the > company I work for and am hoping to find a book(s) that will > give me a working knowledge of the software from both a > technical standpoint and a features and functionality standpoint. > > Any suggestions? > > Thanks, > > Al Davis > _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=exchange To subscribe: http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
