Cannot reinstall Exchange 5.5 on Small Business Server 4.5 |
|
|
Our Small Business Server 4.5 crashed yesterday and could only be
started by doing a repair of Windows NT. Unfortunately, this left the
Small Business Server programs partially installed. Now, Exchange will
not start. It has the message "A connection could not be made to the
Microsoft Exchange Server". I tried to reinstall Exchange, but get the
message "This component is already installed and cannot be modified".
Microsoft Exchange does not appear under Add/Remove Programs, so I
cannot uninstall it either. Any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated.

Do you have a recent Tape Backup of the SBS 4.5 Server?

Its been a while since I actually performed a restore of SBS 4.5 but a
partial backup will most likely not help in this case. You could try
looking up the errors in Event Log on Google and see if you get the stores
to mount. If Exchange needs reinstalled then you will most likely have to
manually remove the current installation then reinstall this compononet from
SBS 4.5 CD. I would also suggest posting this question to the SBS Newsgroup
as they may have a better solution. microsoft.public.server.sbs.
