I really enjoyed
writing Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Distilled. I
would like to thank the folks at Addison Wesley for providing me
with the opportunity to write about Exchange Server 2003.
I welcome any and all
feedback you might have for me, so please don’t be shy. You can send all of
your feedback directly to me at scott_schnoll@msn.com.
