How do you reinstall Exchange on SBS 2003?
Hi All,
I am having the same issue as ....

How do you reinstall Exchange on SBS 2003?
We had major issues getting it running on this server (upgraded from SBS 2000) and I am uncertain how to reinstall just exchange. Will the user accounts and mailboxes need to be recreated?
Many thanks,
John

You can do a repair installation from a CD. Always backup first
Before you do that.
I have now found that if you create the user and restart the server (i have had this problem a couple of times) then the e-mail accout gets properly created. Obviously this isn't a permanent fix but i would be interested in knowing how long you waited for the e-mail alias' etc. to be created before trying something else. I got a feeling that SBS2003 is just taking a while sometimes to create the accounts and a restart is just poking it in the proverbial a little bit.

Kris,
We had created the user 2 weeks ago and rebooted twice during that time period with no luck. Thanks for the input nonetheless.
I'm going to go with Jeff on this one for the CYA on the data side with a partial to harleyjd for essentially the same fix less the backup procedure.
Thanks all,
John

harleyjd and TechSoEasy are definately correct. I just did this today and it works.
Make sure you install service packs afterwards or OWA will be hosed.
