Need a Resource for Exchange Online, Exchange Hybrid, and Exchange Server 2013? Try William Stanek’s Exchange Server 2013 Pocket Consultant: Configuration & Clients.

Seattle, WA, October 26, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Need a resource for Exchange Online, Exchange hybrid, and Exchange Server 2013? Try William Stanek’s Exchange Server 2013 Pocket Consultant: Configuration & Clients (ISBN: 9780735681682). This 378-page guide to Exchange Server 2013 is laser focused on core configuration tasks for Exchange Online, Exchange hybrid, and Exchange Server.

For this book, William says he decided to do something radically different than he’s done in the past. He decided to laser focus the book on core configuration tasks and this allowed him to do something he’s never been able to do before. It allowed him to wrap his arms around Exchange Online, Exchange hybrid, and Exchange Server and discuss them all.

Because a discussion of Exchange Online would not be complete without a discussion of Office 365 and Windows Azure, Office 365 and Windows Azure are also explored throughout the book. Embracing Exchange Online, Exchange hybrid, and Exchange Server allowed William to push the discussion in new directions.

One of the areas William delves into exhaustively is Exchange Management Shell. Not only does he discuss how to customize and troubleshoot Exchange Management Shell for onsite Exchange Server configurations, he also examines how to use the Exchange Management Shell and PowerShell to connect to and work with Exchange Online, Office 365, and Windows Azure. He explores using manual remote shells to connect to Exchange servers and Exchange Online when all other options fail, such as when Exchange has an invalid configuration that prevents connecting any other way.

To help you get a better idea of the topics covered in the book, they'll include the top-level table of contents. As you work with Exchange Online, Exchange hybrid, and Exchange Server configurations, they hope you’ll find this first of its kind guide to be one of the best resources available for your everyday administration needs.
