Correction!!! It wasn’t the Best Practice book he didn’t like, it was Exchange 2010 Unleashed that he said was riddled with inaccuracies.

Earlier I recommended the Practical Approach book as a fast track to get familiar with the concepts and implementation, kind of like a Cliff’s Notes version. Michael stated that the Practical Approach book I had was pre-SP1 and that there was a revised version coming out sometime.

BTW, there is a link to download it for free at red-gate.com. http://www.red-gate.com/our-company/about/book-store/exchange-2010 On Fri, Feb 25, 2011 at 3:22 PM, Jonathan <ncm...@gmail.com> wrote: Ok, so my new job starts in 9 days, and I just found out on a conference call today that I'm going to hit the ground running with an Exchange 2010 migration (which wasn't originally part of the plan). I'm more than cool with it, but I've never touched 2010, and I've barely touched 2007.... so, I was delighted to recall the thread here from about a week ago and found the thread started by smsadm on Feb 16, 2011 with two specific book recommendations on Exchange 2010. I looked at the kit of the two books that was recommended - unavailable right now. so I looked at them separately: Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Best Practices <http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Exchange-Server-2010-Practices/dp/0735627193/ref=pd_cp_b_1> by Jagott & Stidley And: Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Inside Out <http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Exchange-Server-2010-Inside/dp/0735640610/ref=pd_sim_b_2> by Tony Redmond I started reaching for the credit card, however, when I realized that they were 900 and 1200 pages, respectively, I paused (because I have 9 days, 1 wife, and 2 boys - ages 5 & 4). I'm not averse to reading (a definite requirement in our field), however trying to dig through something of that magnitude in that timeframe probably isn't going to happen... So, I dug, and found this book, which looks like it might be a good starting point (before I delve into the other two). Exchange 2010 - A Practical Approach <http://www.amazon.com/Exchange-2010-Practical-Jaap-Wesselius/dp/1906434328/ref=sr_1_9?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1298664858&sr=1-9> , by Jaap Wesselius Before I jump head first into this, any other suggestions? Obviously I know it won't substitute for more detailed info, but I feel like I need a broad overview before I start going deep.
