Hi, Im a network admin in his early twenties, and have been told by some of my older colleagues, that I should focus in an area that interests me, instead of being a jack of all trades. I definately want to focus on Exchange Server, as it interests me an insane amount. Here is the issue. No one at my company is an Exchange guru that I can be an apprenticeship to, and ive taken and gotten my MCSE Messaging test. What can i do to become a "guru" for lack of a better phrase? What can I do? Any help would be insanely appreciated.

hi,
If i would be in your place i will blog my self in the exchange forums, articles.. Will try to understand what is the question they have blogged and based on that i will search in google and will try to understand what i suppose to looking for.
One of the most important thing i use to create my own lab to play around and for giving suggestion for my company setup and forums.

To become a guru so to speak, you do not need to be apprentice to someone in your office. You can go online to interact with like minded people. Or you can play around with exchange server yourself. Many gurus are born by themselves. They spent countless hours experimenting and trying till they become an expert. Hope this helps to give you some direction.
Also try to focus in on basic concepts before deep diving into the cool stuff. I know, it may not be what you want to hear but it's really important to have the basics down before proceeding.
Last but not least go to the Microsoft Exchange Team Blog - You Had Me at Ehlo - and get inspired and check out some blog links.

fwiw, i've learned stuff through good folks at forums and google.
but honestly, if you can get your company to swing it, an instructor-led (live) training (with labs) is best, be it in-person or on line. it permits questions.
there's instructor-led cd's too, and i've gotten ahead using those, and your company may find that as an acceptable alternative to the costlier live classes.
