William Stanek has been developing expert solutions for and writing professionally about Microsoft Exchange since 1995. In this book, William shares his extensive knowledge of the product, delivering ready answers for day-to-day management and zeroing in on core commands and techniques.

As with all books in the IT Pro Solutions series, this book is written especially for architects, administrators, engineers and others working with, supporting and managing a specific version of a product or products. Here, the products written about are Exchange Online and Office 365.

Because Exchange Online and Office 365 are online products, the features and options for these products can be updated from time to time by Microsoft. As this book was being written Microsoft was preparing to release a new version of Office 365 and this book is written to this new version. (If you are using this book prior to the update, click the New Admin Center sneak peek link on the Office 365 dashboard to switch to the new interface.)

This book, based on Exchange Server 2016 and Exchange Online: Essentials for Administration , is designed for those who work exclusively with Office 365 and Exchange Online. If you work with on-premises Exchange Server or a hybrid implementation, youll want to use Exchange Server 2016 and Exchange Online: Essentials for Administration instead.
