I deleted some files that control the GUI interface for my W2003 server. &nbsp;If I click on Administrative Tools&gt;DHCP, I get a &quot;Problem with Shortcut&quot; error that says &quot;This action is only valid for products that are currently installed.&quot; &nbsp;I get the same error for DNS, and Active Directory components. &nbsp;The underlying services are working so I've deleted some file. &nbsp;May I have your suggestions please on how to recover?

I deleted some files that control the GUI interface for my W2003 server.  If I click on Administrative Tools>DHCP, I get a "Problem with Shortcut" error that says "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed."  I get the same error for DNS, and Active Directory components.  The underlying services are working so I've deleted some file.  May I have your suggestions please on how to recover?

Lost GUI Interface

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).
