Re: SBS 2003 upgrade problems with RWW and CompanyWeb



Hi Jay,

Thanks for your reply.

From your description, I understand that you get the following error
message:
===============================
Step 5. I have a pool listed as StsAppPool1 that I cannot delete.
Message is "You cannot delete an application pool that contains
applications. You need to reassign all applications in this application
pool to another application pool or delete the applications."
===============================

Please check Application Pools in IIS, refer to the following steps:

IIS Manager -> Server name -> Application Pools -> StsAppPool1

If the other web sites are using this application pool, then you cannot
delete it. According your reply, this issue may caused you don't follow the
step's order to perform reinstall SharePoint Service. So please refer to
the following step's ORDER to manually remove and install SharePoint and
CompanyWeb:

A. Rename the registry keys and folders:
--------------
1. Rename HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SmallBusinessServer

2. Rename Program Files\Microsoft Integration\Windows Small Business Server
2003

3. Rename Program Files\Microsoft Windows Small Business Server

B. Once we rename the registry keys and folders, SBS setup is going to be
running like the first time.
--------------
1. Insert SBS setup CD 1, and then run setupsbs.exe to rerun the setup.

2. In the 'Component Selection' page, make sure 'Server Tools' and all the
sub-components (including 'Intranet') are selected

to INSTALL.

3. Once it is completed, click Start, click Control Panel, and then click
Add or Remove Programs.

4. Select Windows Small Business Server 2003 and then click Change/Remove.
The Setup Wizard appears.

5. Click Next to start the wizard.

6. On the Windows Configuration page, click Next.

7. On the Component Selection page, in the Action column, change Server
Tools to Maintenance, change Intranet component to

Remove, and then click Next.

8. On the Component Summary page, click Next.

9. Click Finish.

10. Uninstall Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine (SHAREPOINT). In Add or
Remove Programs, select Microsoft SQL Server

Desktop Engine (SHAREPOINT) and then click Remove. A dialog box appears. To
confirm that you want to remove, click Yes.

C. Delete Registry Keys:
--------------
1. Delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SmallBusinessServer\Intranet

2. Delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL
Server\SHAREPOINT

3. Delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server
Extensions\Ports\Port /LM/W3SVC/4: (Do not delete

"Port /LM/W3SVC/1:" because it is FrontPage Server Extension 2002 which is
installed on the Default WebSite. If you see

additional "Port /LM/W3SVC/X:", backup and then remove them)

D. Delete IIS Virtual Directory:
--------------
1. Delete SharePoint Central Administration (Do Not Delete Microsoft
SharePoint Administration. It belongs to FronPage Server

Extension)

2. Delete Companyweb

Note: If Antivirus software install any extra IIS virtual directory, also
remove them if possible. They sometimes use port

8081 which will conflict with our SharePoint Central Administration virtual
directory.

3. Delete Application Pool

There should be only 4 application pools (DefaultAppPool,
ExchangeApplicationPool, ExchangeMobileBrowseApplicationPool, and

MSSharePointAppPool). Besides those 4, delete all the extra.

E. Rename Folders:
--------------
1. Rename C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL$SHAREPOINT

2. Rename C:\Inetpub\companyweb

NOTE: Location of the MSSQL$SHAREPOINT folder is determined by

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\SmallBusinessServer\Monitoring\MSDE_Location. Check
out this registry key and determine the real

location of the folder.

F. Clear the contents of the %temp% folder. If you are not able to clear
the contents then reboot the server or reboot into

safe mode. Other contents to clear would be in the c:\program
files\Microsoft Integration\Windows Small Business Server 2003

\Logs everything inside of the Logs folder.

Then do the following steps.

G. Install the intranet component:
--------------
1. In Add or Remove Programs, select Windows Small Business Server 2003 and
then click Change/Remove. The Setup Wizard

appears.

2. Click Next.

3. On the Windows Configuration page, click Next.

4. On the Component Selection page, in the Action column, change Server
Tools to Maintenance, change Intranet component to

Install, and then click Next.

5. On the Logon Information page, click Next.

6. On the Component Summary page, click Next.

7. Click Finish.

Please let me know the result, I am looking forward to your reply.

Have a great day.
