RE: Restore IIS Site and Services



Hi Wadson,

Thank you for posting in SBS newsgroup.

I do not know your detailed situation and why you need to restore IIS.
However, I will provide the following general information for your
reference:

AS I know, if no virtual folders exist in IIS, the best way should be
restoring the IIS settings from the backup. If you do not have backup, you
may need to re-create the Exchange related virtual directories:

In IIS, expand Default Web Site and double check if these directories
exist. If they exist, please remove them:

- EXCHANGE
- EXCHWEB
- PUBLIC
- EXADMIN
- OMA
- (Do not remove EXCHANGE-OMA)

In IIS, select Web Sites, and note the "Identifier" for Default Web Site
displayed on the right pane.

Then, enable real time editing of the metabase in IIS admin, for this:

1. Open Properties on the server object.
2. Check the box "Enable direct metabase edit"

After this, open Windows Explorer and navigate to the following directory:
%SystemRoot$\System32\inetsrv

Edit metabase.xml (make a backup first) with notepad and navigate to the
following section: /LM/DS2MB/HighWaterMarks

Set the Value="207778" to zero or delete it. This value will be located in
a string value like the following (The value may be different):

/LM/DS2MB/HighWaterMarks/{79F81D41-A652-4375-85F0-41A16037CC85} >
<Custom
Name="UnknownName_61472"
ID="61472"
Value="207778" <----- Set this to "0"
Type="STRING"
UserType="IIS_MD_UT_SERVER"
Attributes="NO_ATTRIBUTES"

If the "Identifier" for Default Web Site is not "1", replace all instances
of the identifier with 1, i.e., if the "Identifier" for Default Web Site is
998577302, find all instances of 998577302 and replace it with 1.

Alternatively, you can use Metaedit to make these changes.
Save the file.
Run "IISRESET" and then re-start the MsExchangeSA service.

The deleted virtual directories should get re-created after a few minutes
from the information that Exchange keeps in Active Directory.

You can also restore the following folders through recreating these folders
in IIS and set the correct path for them as following:

Backup (C:\inetpub\Backup)
ClientHelp (C:\inetpub\ClientHelp)
ConnectComputer (C:\inetpub\ConnectComputer)
Monitoring (C:\inetpub\monitoring)
Remote (C:\inetpub\Remote)
Rpc (%SystemRoot%\System32\RpcProxy)
tsweb (%SystemRoot%\web\tsweb)

If this is not your concerns, you can also back up your server and then
follow KB article 887305 to reinstall IIS:

http://support.microsoft.com/?id=887305

This can restore your Web sites without reinstalling your SBS 2003 server.

Hope this helps.

Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions or if you need
further assistance.

I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
