Amazon.co.uk Review
Robichaux has written Managing Microsoft Exchange Server for Exchange Server administrators, the people who have to make it work. He starts by telling you it doesn't deal with mail connectors (PC or mainframe), cover migration planning and tackle Exchange scripting or app development.
This leaves plenty of scope since Exchange Server is larger and more complex than NT with hundreds of configuration dialogues. Robichaux starts with considerations that precede breaking the CD seals. By chapter four you're ready to install it.
In chapter five you learn about Exchange Administrator, the front end that enables users to access and edit Exchange Server's operation. Robichaux usefully lists the containers and the components underlying Exchange Server, which Administrator controls. At this point you start to get your hands dirty. The sheer wealth of practical detail that follows makes for dull but informative reading. In particular, the section on managing Internet mail in chapter eight rewards careful examination, as does the security section in chapter 16.
Robichaux clearly knows his subject. He doesn't slavishly tow the Microsoft line and is happy to make suggestions based on real experience. For example, he recommends against using Exchange Server's automatic restart feature. If you're responsible for installing and managing Exchange Server, you should have this book on the shelf. --Amazon.com
Product Description
Microsoft Exchange is a big, complicated application; it requires more disk storage than Windows NT Server and has several hundred configuration property pages and dialogs. But it is also a very powerful and flexible messaging system. However, knowing that it can be made to do something and understanding how to do it are often worlds apart. Managing Microsoft Exchange Server bridges this gap.
This book is a no-nonsense, practical guide to planning, installing, managing, maintaining, and troubleshooting Exchange networks. Targeted at medium-sized installations and up, Managing Microsoft Exchange Server addresses the difficult problems these users face: Internet integration, storage management, cost of ownership, system security, and performance management. It goes beyond the basics to provide real hands-on advice about what you need to know after you have your first site up-and-running and are facing issues of growth, optimization, or recovery planning. Managing Microsoft Exchange Server comprehensively explains how Exchange works, what it can do, and how you can make it work for you.

I am not big on the whole reviewing thing (this is the first review I've done) and I am pretty sceptical of some of the reviews I've read, sometimes I think "relatives of the author perhaps?". I have no axe to grind other than I have wasted a lot of money on useless books in my time. This is not a book that I have wasted money on.
I come from a Unix world and I like to understand, not memorise. I find a lot of NT literature of the 'click this', 'select this' ilk, with little explanation of exactly what is going on underneath, i.e. 'this is how you make it work' and not 'this is how it works'.
If you want a 'Everything you ever need to do in Exchange in 7 days' type of book then this is not the one for you. If you want a book that helps you to understand the animal that is Exchange and not just blindly follow some 'click this' instructions then this does the job.
If you like the O'Reilly style of getting information across then this book is consistent with that style that I have come to know and love.
Most Exchange books I've read start in Chapter 1 concentrating on getting you started quickly. This book spends the first couple of chapters on architecture and concepts.
If I had bought this book first, I'd have had no need to buy another. I have 4 other all-singing all-dancing Exchange books which tell me HOW to do something in simple instructions but do nothing to increase my understanding of WHAT is being done.
Paul's comment in the first chapter kind of helps get across what I'm trying to say (quoting from the book) "Exchange is a big, complicated set of interconnected components. There are ... a whole passel of pieces that combine ... Understanding what these pieces are, what they do, and how they work together is critical to understanding how to do anything with Exchange once you get it installed".
There are instructions throughout the book, it is not just theory and concepts. Those instructions, though, are not presented on their own. They are presented with explantions of how the described operations fit in with the whole thing.
The above is only my personal opinion and it may differ from others. Please resist the temptation to flame me if you disagree.

Started at a new company, and within two days of starting, their Exchange box fell over. This book showed me how to restore the server to its former glory. One of the best books I have ever seen on Exchange 5.5! If I could I'd give the book 6 out of 5.
Format:Paperback
Rather than lead you through the screenshots and property sheets like Microsoft's 'Official' book, Robichaux explains in real-world terms. Arranged logically and with the detail needed to actually Plan and Manage an Exchange Organisation, this title is essential reading for novices and propellor-heads alike.
As with all O'Reilly titles, it is concise, unbiased and gives the facts.
