Thank you for your reply.

A co-worker made some configuration changes to IIS without using the
wizards. Those changes broke OWA, Companyweb, and reporting.

We have tried a couple of the fixes for some of the components (for example:
"How to reset the default virtual directories..."
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;883380 )

The next step appears to be to reinstall IIS and/or Exchange.

Hello Pnadon,

The steps in above link are in-place reinstall, the configuration and the
data in exchange will be keeping. However, I suggest you to backup you
exchange first.

We do not test reinstall exchange on the SBS with Blackberry Enterprise
Express installed. However, I suggest you to disable or uninstall whole the
3rd-party softwares to make sure the reinstall success.

Hello Pnadon,

Thank you for kind update.

The link http://forums.techarena.in/showthread.php?t=594992 is provided
from you in your originally post.

I also try to open it, it is not available now. May be some change happened
on the page.

The following is the general steps in the link:

Reinstall Exchange 2003:

A. Click Start, point to Control Panel and click Add or Remove Programs.
B. Select Windows Small Business Server 2003 and then click Change/Remove.
Click Next in the Setup Wizard.
C. On the Windows Configuration page, click Next.
D. On the Component Selection page, in the Action column, select "Install"
(or Reinstall) for Exchange 2003 and then click Next.
E. Go on through the wizard to finish.

Please note that you might have to enable NNTP services before reinstall
NNTP services, you can enable it through services.msc.

===========

To reinstall Exchange (with SBS 2003 SP1 already applied):

1. Switch to the SBS 2003 CD2, and then run "setup /reinstall".
2. Choose to 'Reinstall' against all the valid listed components in the
pop-up page, and then start the reinstallation.
3. Choose 'Yes' when prompting to overwrite the newer version files.
4. Once the installation is completed, install Exchange 2003 SP1.
5. And then, reinstall SBS 2003 SP1.
6. Rerun CEICW which will recreate the OMA and Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync
directories.

Hope these steps will give you some help.

Thanks and have a nice day!

Best regards,

Terence Liu(MSFT)
