Re: Configuring Exchange when IIS Default Website missing

Oops, just answered my own question...
When I click details:

The default Web site in Internet Information Services (IIS) is
missing.Windows Small Business Server 2003 Setup cannot continue Setup
because a default Web site does not exist in IIS.

You must cancel Setup, back up files for existing Web sites, remove IIS,
reinstall IIS, and then restart Setup.

Sounds like I may have to rebuild...

You can run setup in 'maintenance mode' - Add/Remove Programs, and select
Small Business Server. You can select items for installation or
reinstallation. This is a non-destructive setup, you won't lose what's there
already.

I have the task of configuring exchange on a small business server that
someone else setup. I went to the wizard to allow e-mail to flow in to
the
server and it failed. Then I noticed that I am also missing outlook web
access and the entire default website tab under IIS.

Will reinstalling Exchange/IIS fix this problem? Or do I need to
reinstall
the entire server? I have a bunch of Data on my D:\ drive I would like to
keep, which should be fine if I just reinstall the Windows on the C:\
drive.
However, I would like to avoid rebuilding the entire active directory (40
or
so users) and having to rejoin all the computers to the domain, set up
permissions on shares, etc...

Here is a screenshot of the IIS:
