Reinstall RWW and OWA on SBS 2008

Hi I have got SBS 2008 and after a recent update I am having problems with getting RWA and OWA to successfully work on my server I have tried messing around with IIS as this is where I believe the problem to be but still cant get both working. How can I remove and reinstall OWA and RWW?

Thanks

Sorry probably being stupid but its been a long day but I cant see how to reinstall RWW/OWA in that link.

Thanks
Thanks for that but it doesnt really help with my problem all those links basically show is how to restart the services???
if you just rerun the wizards, and moslty the 'fix my network wizard', it should be okay.
Unless you messed up IIS too much, things should be repaired by the wizards:

No that still doesnt fix anything think I need to just reinstall RWW any ideas?
delboytrigger,

hmmm, good question actually, I haven't tried to reinstall RWW.
I don't know if it's that easy to reinstall rww though.
but before reinstalling, tell me, what is wrong with the RWW?
what did you change in IIS?

Well I think an update stopped some parts of RWW working as you could access any emails via OWA at all. Now though I cant even open up my RWW I just get a certificate error I have tried to install a new certificate but nothing seems to help so thought if I can just remove RWW and start again this may solve the problem?
not that easy.
let's first try to fix this instead of reinstalling.
so an update caused this?
I thought you changed things in IIS?
are you sure following error is not your problem?:

Well what happened I believe is an update caused a problem with the RWW and OWA. When I was looking in IIS I noticed that default sites and SBS web apps could both not start as they both were set to use http *443. If I removed https from SBS web apps then OWA worked fine but RWW would not. If I switched it back so SBS web apps was using 443 RWW works fine but not OWA.
After doing some research it looks like the OWA sites should be under the SBS web apps and not the default sites so I tried to manually recreate the OWA stuff under the SBS web apps but this did not solve the problem as when I log on to RWW I get an error
"Outlook Web Access was unable to access the Active Directory configuration settings for virtual directory "owa" under Web site "SBS Web Applications".
So im guessing ive just not recreated them correctly but not sure what ive missed.
I have run the fix my nextwork wizard but this doesnt find any problems?

Also ignore the certificate error I have resolved that now.

Many Thanks
