Move Exchange Virtual Directories
Okay so after long and hard, I have figured out what the problem is. Half of Exchanges required applications are in Default Website and the other half is in SBS Web Applications. Well, I would like to do away with SBS Web Applications. How would I move everything to Default Web Site? I have moved OWA, AutoDiscover, ActiveSync to there so far using cmdlets such as remove-xxxxxxx new-xxxxxxx. I will need to move RPC, RPCproxy, and any other exchange necessary element. Can someone help me out? Right now, SBS Web Apps won't start in IIS. It says something else is using its port, which I assume is Default Web Site because I installed my certificate and my exchange organization is running off Default Web Site right now. Is there an easy way just to "move" all the apps/Virtual directories without remove and manually adding? Any help would be appreciated. SBS08 Exchange 2007

This is SBS - what you are seeing is how it is designed to work. If you attempt to undo things then you will break SBS. If you installed your certiifcate to IIS through either IIS manager or Exchange, then that also breaks things. Things have to be done in the way that SBS wants them. Don't try and fight against how SBS is designed to work, it is a battle you will only loose. When patches for SBS are installed, you will just get a mess. Use the wizards to correct things, including the SSL wizard to select the SSL certificate that you installed. The SBS BPA will also tell you what to correct, and the Fix My Network wizard will also help. Simon. Simon Butler, Exchange MVP Blog | Exchange Resources

Once everything is switched over that exchange needs, I dont care what happens. My boss is wanting me to look into getting regular server 08, but we want it to work for now. Can we just move the necessary?

Its still SBS though - until you have migrated to a full server you need to treat it as SBS. The problem you have caused (the SSL certificate bing bound to the wrong site) is easily corrected using the wizards that are built in, and then product will work as designed. As I said above, with an SBS server, trying to work against it (ie treating it like the full product) is something that you will simply fail at, because it will always try to "correct" itself.
