Reinstalling Exchange 2000 and IIS in SBS 2000

Reinstalling Exchange 2000 and IIS in SBS 2000

Does anyone know if there are any potential problems with doing the above?
So far on a non production Server I have run the SBS set-up disk and
unselected both Exchange and IIS then rebooted. Then re run the set-up disk
and re installed both products and so far all seems to be working. This
process appears not to damage or remove any of the Exchange database so that
Inboxs seem to remain intact etc.



My question is does anyone know if there are any serious potential problems
with doing this.

Kind regards

Thank you for posting your question to the Newsgroup.

In general you want to reinstall Exchange whenever you have to reinstall
IIS. Basically if you reinstall IIS, you can simply do an inplace upgrade
of Exchange using the SBS integrated setup (select the Exchange component
and choose reinstall). When Exchange is installed, your databases will be
preserved. Make sure that after doing the Exchange inplace upgrade, you
reapply any Exchange service packs
