get any better 61705ffirs.indd 6/28/08 9:54:25 AM Acknowledgments It took a lot of hard work and patience to complete this book, as it does all publications Thanks to Jeff Kellum and Denise Santoro Lincoln for being patient and considerate despite the scheduling setbacks and for retraining me on the format changes Also, the production team of Christine O’Connor and Judy Flynn were top-notch and a joy to work with They did an impeccable job making sure we were not just technically sound but also grammatically correct! Thanks to Rawlinson Rivera for helping get this book going and for recommending me for this project I hope you are feeling better and look forward to our next project! One of our pinch hitters was Jabez Gan Ming Teik, who really came through by getting a chapter reworked after a change in objectives on the Microsoft exam This book was a bit of a test for me and caused me to have to rely on a number of colleagues for a little help with developing the content Without Erik Gustafson, Mike Hodson, and Siegfried Jagott, this book would not have been possible Last, I’d like to thank both the Monster Beverage Company and Hearthroast for fueling the late-night writing sessions with Lo-Carb Monster and home-roasted coffee 61705ffirs.indd 6/28/08 9:54:25 AM

both an MCSE and MCTS At the beginning of his IT career, he was supporting MS-DOS and Windows for Workgroups clients on a Novell NetWare network at a small manufacturing company Shortly thereafter, he discovered the joys of Windows NT Server and led the charge in converting that company from a Novell NetWare directory to a Windows NT domain He also convinced the company’s engineering department to switch from the SunOS-based workstations to new Windows NT 4.0 Workstation machines Joel has since taken on numerous other projects, from a number of Active Directory and Exchange Server migrations to deploying large-scale virtualization environments In 2004, Joel founded ExchangeExchange.com, a Microsoft Exchange–focused community website where he blogs and provides forums for discussing Exchange, PowerShell, certification, and general Windows information In the last few years, he has also contributed to MCITP: Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Messaging Design and Deployment Study Guide: Exams
