From: Bob on 19 Apr 2010 09:37 I have accidentally deleted the SBS Web Applications Site from IIS. I manually recreated the site, and recreated the various application folders. The only application folder I cannot create is the Autodiscover application. When I run the command: New-AutodiscoverVirtualDirectory -WebsiteName "SBS Web Applications" -InternalUrl "https://internalURL/Autodiscover/Autodiscover.xml" -BasicAuthentication 1 -WindowsAuthentication 1 I get the following error: New-AutodiscoverVirtualDirectory : An error occurred while creating the IIS virtual directory 'IIS://PLUTO.tcl.local/W3SVC/3/ROOT/Autodiscover' on 'SERVERNAME'. At line:1 char:33 + New-AutodiscoverVirtualDirectory <<<< -WebsiteName "SBS Web Applications" -InternalUrl "https://InternalURL/Autodiscover/Autodiscover.xml" -BasicAuthen tication 1 -WindowsAuthentication 1 I have tried many various fixes already. The server has Exchange 2007 SP2 installed. I also wanted to try and remove the ClientAccessRole and reinstall it. I ran SETUP /MODE:RECOVERSERVER and got the following response: Welcome to Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Unattended Setup Preparing Exchange Setup The following server roles will be recovered Hub Transport Role Client Access Role Mailbox Role Management Tools The following server roles are already installed: BridgeheadRole, ClientAccessRole, MailboxRole, AdminToolsRole. Exchange Server setup encountered an error. I have run out of ideas....

Since you are also trying to recover the CAS role, that involves IIS recovery, too, as you've already figured out. Take a look at the following to recover the CAS II portion. Reinstall the Client Access Role in Windows Small Business Server 2008 http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd767439(WS.10).aspx And for non-SBS 2008: How to Back Up and Recover a Client Access Server http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124359(EXCHG.80).aspx Ace This posting is provided "AS-IS" with no warranties or guarantees and confers no rights.

From: Bob on 20 Apr 2010 04:54 Thank you. However, I cannot install the CAS Role because it is greyed out and there is no option to uninstall it. From the article: "Note If the Client Access Role is grayed out or already selected, the role is installed and you do not need to reinstall it."

From: Ace Fekay [MVP - Directory Services] on 20 Apr 2010 10:50 That's good to hear. What appears you *need* to do, as you previously pointed out, is to recover the IIS portion of the CAS. Did you follow the portion of the article copying and pasting the Power Shell command thatwill recreate the IIS portion?
