Hi Jeremi,
Thank you for posting in SBS newsgroup.
>From the description, I understand the issue to be: ConnectComputer,
Exchange and Remote do not list in the Default Web Site under IIS Manager
and you can not access theses web sites. If I have misunderstood your
concerns, please do not hesitate to let me know.
AS I know, ConnectComputer and Remote folders should exist in the
c:\Inetpub folder not in the c:\ Inetpub\wwwroot folder by default. And 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 ConnectComputer, Exchange and Remote related virtual
directories:
For Exchange, 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".
3. After this, open Windows Explorer and navigate to the following
directory: %SystemRoot$\System32\inetsrv.
4. Edit metabase.xml (make a backup first) with notepad and navigate to the
following section: /LM/DS2MB/HighWaterMarks.
5. 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.
6. Alternatively, you can use Metaedit to make these changes.
7. Save the file.
8. 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 it does not work, you can back up your server and then follow KB article

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

| I have somehow "lost" the ability to visit //server/connectcomputer and

| Web Site, only the folders in my wwwroot folder.

| How can I get these pages back?
