Dear Reader,

Thank you for choosing Microsoft Exchange Server 2013. This book is part of a family of premium-quality Sybex books, all of which are written by outstanding authors who combine practical experience with a gift for teaching.

Sybex was founded in 1976. More than 30 years later, we're still committed to producing consistently exceptional books. With each of our titles, we're working hard to set a new standard for the industry. From the paper we print on, to the authors we work with, our goal is to bring you the best books available.

I hope you see all that reflected in these pages. I'd be very interested to hear your comments and get your feedback on how we're doing. Feel free to let me know what you think about this or any other Sybex book by sending me an email at . Customer feedback is critical to our efforts at Sybex.

To my wife, Elizabeth: You have supported, loved, and inspired me through so many challenges. Who would have thought having said never again after my first book that I would now have completed two more!

Nathan Winters

I dedicate this book to the special ladies in my life: to my wife, Mandy, for standing by me while I sacrificed time to make this book happen, and to my daughters, Anna and Lisa. I would also like to thank God for the gift of communication that makes writing a book of this nature possible.

Nicolas Blank

I would like to dedicate this book to my family, all of whom have supported me throughout the writing process in some way. I would especially like to thank Liz for her tolerance of me writing during the early hours and Leo for always being able to make me smile.

Neil Johnson

Acknowledgments

As you can probably imagine, writing a book is a hefty task. It requires the inspiration and coordination of many different groups of people without whom it would not be possible. Therefore, I am very grateful for this opportunity to call them out for some well-earned recognition.

Throughout this book, we have worked to ensure that you get the very best advice. This has meant working with our accumulated network of friends and colleagues, calling in favors to ensure that we take advantage of the insights of the top experts in their fields.

I would like to start by thanking Neil Johnson and Nicolas Blank personally. Both fall into the friends and colleagues category. We have worked together in various capacities over the last several years, and without their knowledge, enthusiasm, and sheer hard work, this book would absolutely never have happened.

Of course, outside of the authors, the other major driver behind a book like this is the publisher. As always, Sybex has helped us at every stage of the process with a superb team, starting with Mariann Barsolo, our acquisitions editor, who helped us shape the book and hone in on the audience, Gary Schwartz, our development editor, who put up with the random formatting and grammar that we came up with and turned it into something resembling what you see now, and Liz Britten and the copy editing team who did a crack job in getting this polished for printing while accommodating some late changes! Over all, Pete Gaughan had the job of pushing us to keep at least within some semblance of a schedule!

That leaves one very important person in the team, our technical editor, Henrik Walther. Henrik had a big part to play in ensuring the technical accuracy of the examples throughout the book. As someone with huge experience in the Exchange world, he also provided useful guidance and thoughts on the project as a whole.
