Why dont you reinstall the mmc with the SBS cd?

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
i have come into a SBS site that has crashed due to power problems. The SBS has all sorts of problems with missing DLL's and the like. I have also found out that they do not use Exchange it is just a glorified fileserver because they kept playing with it until they killed most of it. <br />
That said i have explained that it is not worth the time to try to repair such a buggy os and we are simply starting again. <br />
The only thing that i need to recover from the OS is the CAL's. However it will not run an MMC so gui is out. Is there a CLI to export/backup the CAL's.<br />
<br />
i know about &quot;stop the License Logging Service, rename licstr.cpa to licstr.cpa.old, then copy autolicstr.cpa to licstr.cpa.&quot; but the problem is autolicstr.cpa does not exist in either the old HDD or the new one. not sure why as this is a well doco'd meathod (we have SBS r1 standard)<br />
<br />
Any help greatly appreciated.<br />
Cheers<br />

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.

Active Directory

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
