I'm fairly novice when it comes to AD, I know a decent amount about GP and domains, but would like to know more.

I'm after a good reference & theory book if one exists, for intermediate-high level work (not a beginners howto guide) - I know that the practical application helps a lot, but I'm a theoretical man at heart and like a good read.

Personally I've always been able to fumble my way through AD and Exchange with a bit of reading, much like yourself I assume.

I've been studying for an MCITP: Enterprise recently and find there to be a lot of interesting information that has been filling the gaps for me on the 70-640 exam I think. I'm reading the self paced learning book which should be acquirable if you don't have means to get it normally.

Having said that, its not super in depth so it depends on how far you want to go I suppose?

Certainly MCSE, probably further. I've faffed around with it for a bit, and want to get down to brass tacks as it were now.

I've recently started doing the MCITP too and bought the relevant book package online.. The 70-640 book is all about administering AD and is quite handy! Taught me a few things I didn't know..
