Different scenarios to reinstall Companyweb after the SBS 2003 SP1 setup
Once again.... hello? If you are installing supporting SBS boxes and are NOT a Microsoft partner..why ever not? Get your buns signed up!
From the Partner support group comes the varying ways we can get Sharepoint fixed back up after SP1...now mind you I don't quite understand why folks get Sharepoint mucked up... I've never had to uninstall it and reinstall it...but if it needs it..here's the info that might help..
PLEASE BE AWARE THAT IF YOU HAVE LIVE DATA IN YOUR SHAREPOINT, THIS IS PROBABLY NOT TOO WISE OF STEPS TO BE FOLLOWING...WE ONLY PUT IT IN HERE BECAUSE WE'RE LAZY AND WE DON'T WANT TO GOOGLE ALL THE TIME. IF YOU HAVE LIVE DATA AND YOUR SHAREPOINT FAILED AFTER SP1, YOUR SP1 MAY HAVE FAILED AS WELL SO IT'S WISE TO CALL MICROSOFT PRODUCT SUPPORT SERVICES. THERE'S A TIME TO BE A DIY'ER AND THERE'S A TIME TO GET HELP. STOP MUCKING AROUND ON YOUR OWN, STOP GOOGLING AND USE THE PROPER RESOURCES.
Okay so that's a little harsh ...but I swear people want to flatten this box if it even sneezes funny. You don't need to flatten and start over... you just need good advice and googling and reading blogs for some of this stuff may not be the wisest move when there are trained Engineers who live and breathe SBS boxes.
Bottom line, use your resources wisely and know when to put down the mouse and keyboard, stop googling, and call. Issues with a service pack are a free call, but even then on a 'non covered call', how much is your time, how much is your firm's time worth? After all, this is your business right? There at times you just need to get the credit card out and call Microsoft Product Support Services.
Different scenarios to reinstall Companyweb after the SBS 2003 SP1 setup
I. Scenario I - SBS SP1 Standard (with no complete Intranet component
removal)
. Problem Description
After SBS 2003 SP1 Standard installation, if Companyweb is uninstalled by
using the 'Remove' feature in SBS Integrated setup; reinstalling the
Intranet component through 'SBS Integrated Setup' will prompt for CD 3:
Insert Windows Small Business Server 2003 Disc 3 or point to location where
Windows Small Business Server Setup files may be found.
However, after the original SBS CD3 is inserted and 'OK' is clicked, the
wizard then gives the error: The drive contains a disc for Windows Small
Business Server 2003 with no service packs. When the prompt appears, insert
a disc for Windows Small Business Server 2003 with Service Pack 1.
Since the Companyweb (Intranet) installation part is in the SBS SP1 CD2, the
installation cannot proceed.
. Analysis
This is an Intranet component removal by using the 'SBS Integrated setup',
which can be treated as an incomplete Companyweb instance removal. As a
result, the existing WSS MSDE SP4 instance is NOT removed, but the WSS SP1
is removed. When trying to perform the reinstallation of the Intranet
component, the System will try to locate both the original Companyweb
installation bits and the new ones in the SP1.
What's Removed:
Import File wizard
Fax Routing Extension.
WSS
Any folders files created by WSS.
ISAPI filter
V-dir
What's Not removed:
MSDE Instance
Config Database.
Content Database.
. Resolution
1. Start a cmd prompt and change directory to the SP1 download folder (or
the SBS03_SP1 folder on the SBS SP1 PKG_CD2).
2. Type "SBS2003-KB885918-SP1-X86-ENU.EXE /x" (with no quotation marks) and
press Enter.
3. Specifying a path for the extracted files (such as C:\SBSSP1)
4. Insert the original SBS (non-SP1) Disc 3 into the CDROM.
5. Copy all the folders and the files from the
:\SBS\CLIENTAPPS\SHAREPT folder to the
C:\SBSSP1\cd3\sbs\clientapps\sharept folder.
6. Run the SBS Integrated setup, and when the setup program prompts for CD3,
point it to the folder created in the previous step.
7. Insert SBS SP1 CD 1, re-install WSS SP1.
8. And then insert SBS SP1 CD 2 to reinstall SBS SP1.
9. Run CEICW once the setup is completed.
II. Scenario II - SBS SP1 Standard (with complete Intranet component
removal)
. Problem Description
Note: The only different from the scenario I is that one uses the steps
outlined in the KB article below to completely remove the Companyweb
(Intranet) component:
829114 How to remove and how to install the Windows Small Business Server
2003
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=829114
After SBS 2003 SP1 Standard installation, one uninstalls the Companyweb by
using the steps outlined in KB 829114; when they try to reinstall the
Intranet component through 'SBS Integrated Setup', they are prompted to
insert the CD 3: Insert Windows Small Business Server 2003 Disc 3 or point
to location where Windows Small Business Server Setup files may be found.
However, after the original SBS CD3 is inserted and 'OK' is clicked, the
wizard then gives the error: The drive contains a disc for Windows Small
Business Server 2003 with no service packs. When the prompt appears, insert
a disc for Windows Small Business Server 2003 with Service Pack 1.
Since the Companyweb (Intranet) installation part is in the SBS SP1 CD2, the
installation cannot proceed.
. Analysis
Since it's a complete removal by using the steps in KB 829114, all the
following components are removed. However, that makes our resolution
relatively easy since all the reinstallation required bits can be found on
the SBS SP1 CD2.
What's Removed:
MSDE Instance
Config Database.
Content Database.
Import File wizard
Fax Routing Extension.
WSS
Any folders files created by WSS.
ISAPI filter
V-dir
What's Not removed:
None
. Resolution
1. Start a cmd prompt and change directory to the SP1 download folder (or
the SBS03_SP1 folder on the SBS SP1 PKG_CD2).
2. Type "SBS2003-KB885918-SP1-X86-ENU.EXE /x" (with no quotation marks) and
press Enter.
3. Specifying a path for the extracted files (such as C:\SBSSP1)
4. Run the SBS Integrated setup, and when the setup program prompts for the
CD3, point it to the folder created in the previous step.
5. Insert SBS SP1 CD 1, re-install WSS SP1.
6. And then insert SBS SP1 CD 2 to reinstall SBS SP1.
7. Run CEICW once the setup is completed.
III. Scenario III - SBS SP1 Premium (with no complete Intranet component
removal)
. Problem Description
After SBS 2003 SP1 Premium installation (both ISA 2004 and SQL SP4 is
installed through SP1 CD3,) one uninstalls the Companyweb by using the
'Remove' feature in SBS Integrated setup; when they try to reinstall the
Intranet component through 'SBS Integrated Setup', they are prompted to
insert the CD 3: Insert Windows Small Business Server 2003 Disc 3 or point
to location where Windows Small Business Server Setup files may be found.
However, after the original SBS CD3 is inserted and 'OK' is clicked, the
wizard then gives the error: The drive contains a disc for Windows Small
Business Server 2003 with no service packs. When the prompt appears, insert
a disc for Windows Small Business Server 2003 with Service Pack 1.
Since the Companyweb (Intranet) installation part is in the SBS SP1 CD2, the
installation cannot proceed.
. Analysis
This is an Intranet component removal by using the 'SBS Integrated setup',
which can be treated as an incomplete Companyeweb instance removal. As a
result, the existing WSS SQL SP4 instance is NOT removed, but the WSS SP1 is
removed. When trying to perform the reinstallation of the Intranet
component, the System will try to locate both the original Companyweb
installation bits and the new ones in the SP1. And since the SQL SP4
instance for WSS is still there, we don't need to re-apply the SQL
installation bits in the SP1 CD3 again.
What's Removed:
Import File wizard
Fax Routing Extension.
WSS
Any folders files created by WSS.
ISAPI filter
V-dir
What's Not removed:
SQL Instance
Config Database.
Content Database.
. Resolution
1. Start a cmd prompt and change directory to the SP1 download folder (or
the SBS03_SP1 folder on the SBS SP1 PKG_CD2).
2. Type "SBS2003-KB885918-SP1-X86-ENU.EXE /x" (with no quotation marks) and
press Enter.
3. Specifying a path for the extracted files (such as C:\SBSSP1)
4. Insert the original SBS (non-SP1) Disc 3 into the CDROM.
5. Copy all the folders and the files from the
:\SBS\CLIENTAPPS\SHAREPT folder to the
C:\SBSSP1\cd3\sbs\clientapps\sharept folder.
6. Run the SBS Integrated setup, and when the setup program prompts for the
CD3, point it to the folder created in the previous step.
7. Insert SBS SP1 CD 1, re-install WSS SP1.
8. And then insert SBS SP1 CD 2 to reinstall SBS SP1.
9. Run CEICW once the setup is completed.
IV. Scenario IV - SBS SP1 Premium (with complete Intranet component removal)

using the SBS SP1 CD3.
