Exchange 2003 Virtual directories
I am trying to correct the non workingness of Exchange 2003 web access and am using the KB article 883380. I have removed the directories per the article, and restarted the services, and rebooted the server, but they still havent recreated. ANy ideas?

I used Method 1 and yes I rebooted the server.
Please let me know the method you use and do we have the system attendant service running ?

Method 1 and I restarted the SA service twice and then rebooted the server.
Do u have a back up taken ? If yes then restore the back up and use method 2...Then restart the system attendant service ?
can you tell me what are the critical event id or errors that you can see in the application log?
In the Metabase explorer do you see the DS2MB key still present if present then delete it and restart MSExchangeSA

I saved the configuration of the default website this morning but do not see how to restore it. There doesnt seem to be any critical events. I went back into the Metabase explorer and delted the key again.
It can take 15 - 20 minutes for the directories to recreate, anything longer than that and there is a problem.
Run the Exchange best practises tool and see what that flags.

where in exchange 2003 is that, it has been a while
After deleting that DS2MB key again from Metabase Explorer you have restarted MSExchangeSA service right.

even if Ijust did the default web site? My backup that I performed this mornign is not in there.
Use Metabase Explorer and look at the W3SVC Metabase configuration
"/LM/W3SVC/ApplicationDepe
C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts>cs
Check here and let me know what are the dependencies there should be only 7 present by default if more than that any junk needs to be deleted.
Do you get any event ids 1046, 1047 MsExchangeMU??
