Hi Alex,

Thanks for your email.

Since we didn't successfully install the Exchange 2003 SP1, considering the
current condition, let's perform the following steps to troubleshoot this
current issue:

Important: Please make a full backup for the SBS 2003 Server before we
perform the following steps.

I. Let's perform the following steps to rebuild your Exchange Virtual
directory, and then check if the issue can be resolved.

Method 1:

If your Exchange-OMA is working, save that configuration to a file, delete
your Exchange virtual directory and use the exchange-oma file to create a
new Exchange
Virtual Directory
1. Open up your IIS admin Manger console
2. Expand Default Web Site
3. Right click on exchange-oma virtual directory
4. Select All Tasks
5. Click on "Save Configuration to a file"
6. Select a file name like exchangeoma and let it save to the desktop
(default)
7. For back up purposes: right click on Exchange
8. Select All Tasks
9. Click on "Save Configuration to a file"
10. Select a file name like Exchangebackup and let it save to the desktop
(default)
11.Delete the Exchange virtual directory
12. Right click on Default Web Site
13. Select New>> Virtual Directory from File
14. Click the browse button and select exchangeoma.xml
15. Select Read file
16. Highlight the location
17. Click OK
18. Select Create a new virtual directory and for Alias, select Exchange
20. Start and Stop the Default Web Site
21. Open a command Prompt
22. Restart your HTTP service:
a. Type: NET STOP HTTP
b. Type: NET START HTTP. This should also start HTTP SSL., To check,
type: NET
START HTTP SSL
c. Type: NET START W3SVC
23. Type: IISRESET
24. Type: Exit ( to close the command prompt )

II. If the issue persist, we may need to reinstall Exchange (with SBS
2003 SP1 already applied):

a. Switch to the SBS 2003 CD2, and then run "setup /reinstall".

b. Choose to 'Reinstall' against all the valid listed components
in the pop-up page, and then start the reinstallation.

c. Choose 'Yes' when prompting to overwrite the newer version
files.

d. Once the installation is completed, install Exchange 2003
SP1.

e. And then, reinstall SBS 2003 SP1, and then install the
Exchange 2003 SP2.
