Setting up exchange / OWA
I have Exchange 2003 installed on Server 2003. In IIS I had Websites/Default web site/Exchange.I was having problems with being able to browse to exchange so I removed web services and readded.Now when I look at IIS under websites all it shows is the default web site.How do I get Exchange to appear again?Thanks,TimTim Macking MCSE, MCSA, MCDBA, CCNA

Hi,Back up the virtual directory in IIS Manager Download the Metabase Explorer, which is a part of the IIS 6.0 Resource Kit. Expanded the exchange.1701media.com container in IIS Manager, and you will see a list of all of the IIS virtual directories included in the default Web site. To get rid of a virtual directory, simply right click on it and select Delete. CAUTION - only delete the Exadmin, Exchange, ExchWeb, Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync, OMA, and Public directories. Now we have to get rid of an Exchange remnant. Close the IIS Manager console and open the Metabase Explorer tool (located on the Start -> All Programs -> IIS Resources menu). Expand the LM container to view about a dozen subcontainers. Locate a container called DS2MB, right click on it and select Delete. You will now see the standard "Are you sure?" message. Click Yes and the container will be deleted.Stop the Microsoft Exchange Server (will also stop the Info store and log everyone off of the server)Reboot the serverOn reboot, the OWA virtual directories were created with proper permissionsThere are several different methods you can use to recreate the various virtual directories, as detailed in Microsoft Knowledge Base article 883380, How to reset the default virtual directories that are required to provide Outlook Web Access, Exchange ActiveSync, and Outlook Mobile Access services in Exchange Server 2003 as well as here --> http://searchexchange.techtarget.com/originalContent/0,289142,sid43_gci1167569,00.html(found on: https://support.soundenterprises.net/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=2&nav=0,2)Regards,Johanblog: www.johanveldhuis.nl
