 A good place to start but you need to do some other work too October 16, 2008
This is a good book, it gives an excellent overview of the requirements for taking the 70-236 Examination and covers all the main points in a clear and consise manner.
The exercises are very useful and I would definitely recommend that you do them when doing your studies. My copy had a 64bit evaluation copy of Exchange 2007 but I had to download the 32 bit evaluation copy from Microsoft's website to work on my home virtual environment.
As well as this book I would heartily suggest that you use Microsoft's Technet Library and webcasts to get the complete picture and to cover everything you need.
Good enough for the 70-236 cert, February 8, 2008

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.
Postives
+ Covers the material well enough
+ Each chapter has at its end a Q+A section, to re-enforce learning.
+ You get Exchange 2007 32bit+64bit on to DVD plus additional questions on a CD.
+ loads of screenshots, text pretty easy to read
I used this as my main study tool and passed with 96%, so it does what it says.
I would give it 5 stars, if it didnt has so many annoying errors. I think it is unfair and too harsh to lose more than a single star, as
1. This is a technical book and it has a limited life span (3 years max).
2. The authors and publisher are in a race to produce the book for people like me, I rather have the book now with a few errors rather than wait for another 3 months.
3. Most of the errors probably will be corrected with time.

the book was okish....i feel its not enough just to read the book. You need to have a copy of the software to practice on. NOT SUPPLIED! i thought iwas getting the software with it.
