I need to reinstall exchange in SBS 2003

[CapuaSon]

Please Help

Due to a restore from tape exchange no longer mounts the mail boxes.

When i load the exchange system manager, i get a error message about MAPI32.DLL not being correct, i have read the articale to correct this, and i have to reinstall exchange. But how do i do this.

Please help, CapuaSon

Hi:

Can you post the article you reference? Also the error you receive, and any
relevant errors in your event logs? Would need Event ID and Source.

Because we don't know what Service Pack you have on that computer, here are
two explanations from a post by CSS: I notice that neither one covers
Exchange SP2, so if you have installed that you may want to be cautious and
wait for conformation from someone who has done a reinstall with SP2, but my
thinking is that you would follow the steps below, then re-apply SP2.

I would, and you should, also go to Google Groups - Advanced Search - and
search out the subject as there are several combinations and permutations of
upgrades, service packs and fixes that can affect what you do.

In general, we perform the following steps to install Exchange components on
SBS Servers:

A. Click Start, point to Control Panel and click Add or Remove Programs.
B. Select Windows Small Business Server 2003 and then click Change/Remove.
Click Next in the Setup Wizard.
C. On the Windows Configuration page, click Next.
D. On the Component Selection page, in the Action column, select "Install"
(or Reinstall) for Exchange 2003 and then click Next.
E. Go on through the wizard to finish.

Please note that you might have to enable NNTP services before reinstall
NNTP services, you can enable it through services.msc.

===========

To reinstall Exchange (with SBS 2003 SP1 already applied):

1. Switch to the SBS 2003 CD2, and then run "setup /reinstall".
2. Choose to 'Reinstall' against all the valid listed components in the
pop-up page, and then start the reinstallation.
3. Choose 'Yes' when prompting to overwrite the newer version files.
4. Once the installation is completed, install Exchange 2003 SP2.
5. And then, reinstall SBS 2003 SP1.
6. Rerun CEICW.
<end snip>

You hit the nail on the head. I've done exactly what you were
thinking...reinstall then reapply SP2. The process works.
