Re: Cannot reinstall SBS 2003 after SP1

Hi magelan,

Thanks for your posting and also thanks for Susan's input.

You may also refer to the following information for the issue:

From the description, do you mean you can not reinstall Server Tools after
installing SBS 2003 SP1? If so, to narrow down the problem, would you
please help me collect the following information?

1. Have you installed SBS SP1 following the documents?

For SBS 2003 Standard:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/2/e/9/2e902d14-da2e-43ba-8bd6-6d258f5
356b6/SP1Setup_std.htm

For SBS 2003 Premium:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/2/e/9/2e902d14-da2e-43ba-8bd6-6d258f5
356b6/SP1Setup_prem.htm

2. Have you installed SBS SP1 successfully?
3. What is the detailed error message you receive when you reinstall Server
Tools?

From current situation, please try the following steps to see if it helps:

1. Start a cmd prompt and change directory to the SP1 download folder (or
the SBS03_SP1 folder on the SBS SP1 PKG_CD2).
2. Type "SBS2003-KB885918-SP1-X86-ENU.EXE /x" (with no quotation marks) and
press Enter.
3. Specifying a path for the extracted files (such as C:\SBSSP1)
4. Insert the original SBS (non-SP1) Disc 3 into the CDROM.
5. Copy all the folders and the files from the
<CDROM>:\SBS\CLIENTAPPS\SHAREPT folder to the
C:\SBSSP1\cd3\sbs\clientapps\sharept folder.
6. Run the SBS Integrated setup, and when the setup program prompts for the
CD3, point it to the folder created in the previous step.
7. Insert SBS SP1 CD 1, re-install WSS SP1.
8. And then insert SBS SP1 CD 2 to reinstall SBS SP1.
9. Run CEICW once the setup is completed.

Thanks for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

Crina Li (MSFT)
