Removing WSS 3.0 Companyweb Upgrade - Restoring WSS 2.0 on SBS 2003 These steps are to be followed if the Companyweb site has been upgraded to WSS 3.0. It is ok to install WSS 3.0 on SBS 2003, but must be installed using a "side by side" installation. For more information please refer to the SBS whitepaper http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=0daafc81-efff-4f5b-a28a-8265f1e99f5b&displaylang=en How to determine if WSS 3.0 has been installed? 1. Under Add/Remove Programs you may see an object called Windows Sharepoint Services 3.0 2. The WSS 3.0 installation creates a folder under Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12 How to determine if Companyweb has been upgraded? 1. Open IIS, select the Websites folder, Browse SharePoint Central Administration, select configure virtual server settings, Companyweb will return version 12.0.0.4518 or greater - Not Administrable. 2. Open IIS, select the Websites folder, if Sharepoint has been upgraded you will may see a second instance of SharePoint Central Administration called SharePoint Central Administration v3. 3. Browse SharePoint Central Administration v3, select application management tab, select web application list, companyweb will show in the list. Prerequesites: Must have copies of the SharePoint databases BEFORE the upgrade to WSS 3.0 took place. WSS 2.0 Database Files needed for the restore: STS_<servername>_1.mdf STS_<servername>_Log_1.ldf STS_Config.mdf STS_Config_Log.ldf Default Path for the SharePoint databases on SBS 2003: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL$SHAREPOINT\Data ============================================================================= Uninstall the Windows Small Business Server 2003 Intranet component 1.

Side 2 av 6 1. In Add or Remove Programs, select SharePoint Services 3.0, and then click Remove. 2. Click Yes when you are prompted to confirm. Delete the companyweb and SharePoint Central Administration Web sites 1. Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager. 2. In IIS Manager, expand servername, and then expand Web Sites. 3. Under Web Sites, right-click SharePoint Central Administration, and then click Delete. Note Do not delete the Microsoft SharePoint Administration Web site because this site is part of the FrontPage Server Extensions component. 4. Click Yes when you are prompted to confirm. 5. Under Web Sites, right-click companyweb, and then click Delete. Note: The Companyweb site may not appear in IIS. If the website is missing it was removed during the SharePoint Services 3.0 uninstall. Move on to the next step 6. Click Yes when you are prompted to confirm. Delete the Application Pool 1. In IIS Manager, expand servername, and then expand Application Pools. 2. Right-click StsAdminAppPool, and then click Delete. 3. Click Yes when you are prompted to confirm. 4. If any other StsAdmin application pools exist, delete these too. For example, if there is an application pool named StsAdminAppPool1, delete it. Note Do not delete MSSharePointAppPool because this application pool is part of the FrontPage Server Extensions component. Rename the Sharepoint and companyweb folders 1. Start Windows Explorer, and then find the MSSQL$SHAREPOINT folder. By default, this folder is in the following location: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL$SHAREPOINT 2. Right-click the MSSQL$SHAREPOINT folder, and then click Rename. 3. Rename the folder to MSSQL$SHAREPOINT.old, and then press ENTER. 4. Find the companyweb folder. By default, this folder is in the following location: C:\Inetpub\companyweb 5. Right-click the companyweb folder, and then click Rename. 6. Rename the folder to companyweb.old, and then press ENTER. Delete the registry keys for the Intranet component Warning Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might require that you reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk. 1. Determine the Web site identifiers for all the Web sites that are configured in IIS. To do this, follow these steps: a. Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager. b. In IIS Manager, expand servername, and then click Web Sites. c. In the right pane, examine the Identifier column for all the Web sites that are configured, and write these values down. 2. Start Registry Editor. 3. Backup and then delete the following subkeys: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL

Side 3 av 6 Server\SHAREPOINT HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SmallBusinessServer\Intranet To back up a registry key, right-click the key, and then click Export. To delete a registry key, right-click the key, click Delete, and then click Yes to confirm. 4. Expand the following subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\Ports Under Ports, you will see one or more subkeys named Port /LM/W3SVC/ n :. In the subkey name, n is an identifier for a SharePoint or FrontPage Server Extensions-enabled Web site. For example, if the Default Web Site is extended with the FrontPage Server Extensions, and the Default Web Site identifier is 1, you will see a subkey named Port /LM/W3SVC/1:. 5. Delete any subkey under Ports that does not correspond to one of the Web site identifiers that you wrote down in step 1c. For example, if a subkey named Port /LM/W3SVC/3: exists, but no Web site is configured with this identifier in IIS, delete the Port /LM/W3SVC/3: subkey. Note In a typical Windows Small Business Server 2003 installation, the companyweb site uses 4 as its identifier in IIS. If the Windows Small Business Server 2003 Intranet component could not be installed, there may be a Port /LM/W3SVC/4: subkey left over from the failed installation, even if the companyweb site was not created. Change the TCP port for the Symantec Mail Security for Microsoft Exchange Web site If the server is running Symantec Mail Security for Microsoft Exchange 4.5, you must change the TCP port for the Mail Security Web site before you reinstall the Windows Small Business Server Intranet component. This is because the Mail Security Web site uses TCP port 8081 by default. This TCP port is the same port that the SharePoint Central Administration Web site uses. Important Do not use the IIS Manager snap-in to change the TCP port for the Mail Security Web site. Doing this may cause the Mail Security program to stop working. Instead, install the Symantec Mail Security for Microsoft Exchange console, and then use this console to change the TCP port for the Web site. For information about installing the Symantec Mail Security for Microsoft Exchange console, see the how-to topic titled "To install the Symantec Mail Security for Microsoft Exchange console" in the Symantec Mail Security for Microsoft Exchange Help. For information about changing the TCP port, see the how-to topic titled "To change the TCP port and use SSL" in the Symantec Mail Security for Microsoft Exchange Help. Install the Windows SharePoint Services companyweb Determine whether your copy of Windows Small Business Server 2003 Disk 3 is an original copy or an updated copy Original copies of Windows Small Business Server 2003 Disk 3 contain a DLL with an expired digital certificate. Therefore, when you install Windows Small Business Server 2003 with an original Disk 3, the Intranet component does not install successfully. To determine whether your copy of Windows Small Business Server 2003 Disk 3 is an original copy or an updated copy, follow these steps: 1. Load Windows Small Business Server 2003 Disk 3 in the CD drive. 2. Open Drive :\SBS\CLIENTAPPS\SHAREPT. In this path name, Drive is the drive letter for the CD drive. 3. In the SHAREPT folder, open the Sts.cab file, and then extract the Sqmcfg.dll file to the hard disk drive. The Sts.cab file is a hidden file, and you will have to enable the Show hidden files and folders setting in Folder Options, if this setting is not enabled already. 4. Open the folder where you extracted the Sqmcfg.dll file, right-click Sqmcfg.dll, and then click Properties. 5. Click the Digital Signatures tab. 6. Click to select the digital signature, click Details, and then click View Certificate. 7. On the General tab, find the valid to date. If the valid to date is 11/24/2003, you have an original copy of Disk 3. If the valid to date is 11/24/2009 or a later date, you have an updated copy of Disk 3. If you have an original copy of Disk 3, you can still use this disk for the installation. However, after the Windows Small Business Server 2003 Setup program has finished running, you will have to install the 832880 update.
