SMTP missing in IIS Console tree on XP/IIS 5.1

[Michael]

I hope someone can help with this! I never had this many problems on W2k

When I initially installed IIS, there was nothing showing up in the IIS
console for SMTP. Went back and reinstalled everything, and still no SMTP.
What gives? From what I've read, this isn't something new since 5.0. I
checked MS KB, and only found one reference. That recommended solution was
to install/reinstall "File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks". Ok,
it was already installed. Reinstalled it to no avail!
The install created the requisite 'mailroot' folders, and the SMTP service
is running. There are a couple of event logs that state:

1st Log... Source: smtpsvc
Event ID: 1002 // which btw, MS http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp
no information on.
Description: Server events initialization failed for virtual server 1.
Server events may not be called for this virtual server.

2nd log...
Source: smtpsvc
Event ID: 1004 //again, no luck finding anything at all on provided 'Help
and Support Center link
Description: Virtual server 1 was unable to register itself and the local
delivery sink with the event binding database. Server events and local
delivery will not function properly for this virtual server.

Have a dual boot system, and can just boot back into W2k, but this is
soooooo tedious, and hardly a valid solution!!! Any help is greatly
appreciated!!!

I understand that you already have tried reinstall, but could you uninstall
IIS again, then reboot, delete all files in the
%systemroot%\system32\inetsrv directory and then reboot again and install
IIS? This is of course if you don't care about the existing metabase. If you
do, back it up first.

One other thing. to eliminate potential permission issues, could you make
sure that the account you are using for this is local Admin (not another
account that was granted the Admin group membership)

Finally, since you mentioned dual-boot system, is the disk layout the same
in both OSes? I.e. is drive C in W2K is also drive C in XP?

I have a similar situation as Michael.
I am running XP Pro and have IIS 5.1 running.
SMTP service is started as well.

Has someone found a fix to this yet?

Hello,

297261 article is instructing to change local area network settings.
I am connected to a wireless network...should I still attempt this solution?

Hello Michael,

I have a similar problem as you.
Have you found a solution yet?

[Yogita Manghnani [MSFT]]

Hello,
Go ahead try those steps for the wireless network.
Also here is another reason why this issue may occur: some dll getting
unregistered.
1. Go to a command prompt on the IIS server.
2. Go the following directory at the command prompt
%systemroot%\system32\inetsrv
3. Type in the following commands
regsvr32 inetmgr.dll
regsvr32 smtpsnap.dll
4. Then close and reopen IIS manager console
