This is a call out to any other network admins out there. Does anyone know of any other good forums that I can post questions in.

We recently upgraded from NT4 server and exchange 5.5 to 2003 server and exchange 2003. When we were all finished I could access properties of public folders through exchange system manager. About a week after the upgrade was all finished I went to implement OWA which was one of the reasons we were doing the upgrade. I found very quickly that I could not access the IIS manager. I did some digging and found that I needed to reinstall IIS on my exchange server but unfortunately to do that I also had to reinstall exchange.
I followed the instructions from this KB article http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;320202 to do the reinstalls. After doing that I could access IIS but OWA still did not work. I spent some time trying to get it to go but it never worked. About a week later I noticed that I can't access the properties of any of my public folders through system manager, when I try I get this error "An internal server error has occurred on the server. The requested operation failed.
ID no: c1030af2” I was doing some digging around and someone said that sharepoint services being installed can cause the problem. It was installed and then removed on our primary DC before the upgrade. But we still have a sharepoint web site under the IIS manager on both of our server. One more thing, exchange is installed on both of our servers but only one is actually being used. I was actually going to remove it from the other one but then I realized it had been the first server and so had been done properly as per this article. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;152959 and I needed access to public folders to do this. Please help I am at the end of my troubleshooting rope here. Sorry for the length.
