SBS 2008 stopped receiving incoming email
It was an accident! The remote.mydomain.co.uk self signed cert in SBS2008 expired today, and I went through the process of renewing by going through the wizard in the SBS console. I've not done this for some time, so when it asked for my domain, I stupidly entered remote.mydomain.co.uk which in turn ended up with SBS configuring both the cert and Exchange for the domain of remote.remote.mydomain.co.
I re-ran the Internet Connection Wizard, then re-ran the "Set up your Internet Address" wizard and this time entered just mydomain.co.uk
The problem now is that Exchange has NOT re-configured itself for mydomain.co.uk and is now not accepting emails. I ran the Fix My Network wizard, but I get an error:-
The server cannot connect to the SMTP connectors. Ensure that Exchange is running, then try again
Please help!

Check to make sure your exchange services are running, then re-run the fix my network. If your certificate is blown you would have to reimport the certificate or get the exchange certificate re-issued. If it is self-signed then run the add trusted certificate wizard again. You will then have to remove the old one.

The Exchange services ARE running, but the fix my network wizard fails. I think I have potentially found an issue in the the Windows SBS Internet Receive connector has gone!
I am trying to re-create it, but that too fails. However, I think that this is due to SP3 being installed, and the schema not updating as part of that install. I am currently rebooting the server before running setup.com /prepareschema in the Exchange Management Shell

OK - follow up - setup.com /prepareschema fails....

LOTS of worrying and 'Googling'. Problem was caused by a known bug of SP3 being installed on Exchange 2007 and a rogue registry key. Once the key was deleted, I had to update the Schema using 'setup.com /prepareschema' from Exchange 2007 SP3 installer, and once that completed I was able to finally fix by re-running the Internet connection wizard in SBS console
