Introduction Introduction Using This Book How To Educate Yourself About Exchange 2007 SP1 How To Benefit from This Book How To Continue Expanding Your Knowledge How To Educate Yourself About Exchange 2007 SP1In truth, whenever you pick up a book that catches your eye, flip to an article that draws your interest, or research and locate a site or blog that interests you, you are attempting to educate yourself in some way.

Some simply love to learn to enhance their own knowledge of a subject, even if they never intend to use that knowledge in the working world. Some, on the other hand, are required to learn to perform a job. A messaging engineer, much like a physician, must keep up with the latest practices and techniques to stay on top of the profession he has chosen.Most Exchange books are 800, 900, or even 1,500 pages in length! And for some, that is just the kind of book they need to accomplish their messaging goals. However, this book is a "how-to" book. It's designed to give an administrator what she needs to understand the concepts involved in managing an Exchange 2007 SP1 environment and to perform the necessary tasks.There are many ways to educate yourself about Exchange 2007 SP1.

These serve as starting points for the administrator to consider. At times, the information provided helps you deal with a specific problem that you might face.
