No book is published in a vacuum and I would like to acknowledge the great help and support that I received from many members of the Exchange product group and other Microsoft employees, including Sanjay Ramaswamy, David Espinoza, William Rall, Todd Luttinen, Tim McMichael, Vineetha Kalvakunta, Fred Monteiro da Cruz Filho, Kanika Ramji, Lokesh Bhoobalan, Astrid McClean, Alfons Staerk, Ankur Kothari, Kern Hardman, Andrew Friedman, Abram Jackson, and Scott Schnoll.

Paul is also speaking at Exchange Connections, where he’s doing sessions on “ Better Together: Integrating Exchange 2013 and Lync” (Thursday, 10:45am) and “ Exchange 2013 Unified Messaging Deep Dive” (Thursday, 2:45pm). This book can also be ordered now and I am sure will be delivered very soon. Paul did all the hard stuff about the Client Access Server, the range of Exchange clients (including ActiveSync and BYOD), as well as his favorite topic of Unified Messaging.

The companion volume, Paul Robichaux’s excellent Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 Inside Out: Connectivity, Clients, and UM, is just a few days behind.

If all goes well, I shall pick the books up from the FedEx facility in the hotel and be able to give some away at The UC Architects Live panel session on Wednesday at 1pm. I know this because Microsoft Press has just told me that they have shipped a box of books (assuming the right one) to the Mandalay Bay Hotel in Las Vegas for the Exchange Connections conference next week.

I am very happy to announce that printed copies of Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 Inside Out: Mailbox and High Availability are now available.
