Exchange 2007
that is the web site that I found over the weekend and referenced.
What confuses me is the blanks that I have to fill in
For ex
to re-create the AutoDiscover VD I would do the following:
New-AutodiscoverVirtualDirectory -WebSiteName "Defualt Web Site" -WindowsAuthentication $true -DigestAuthentication $true
The errors that I get are as follows:
New-AutodiscoverVirtualDirectory : The Web site 'Defualt Web Site' on server 'server' does not exist. The name of a Web site is case sensi
tive.
Parameter name: WebSiteName
At line:1 char:33
+ New-AutodiscoverVirtualDirectory <<<< -WebSiteName "Defualt Web Site" -Windo
wsAuthentication $true -DigestAuthentication $true
IIS is up and running properly with no event log errors. IIS was working fine before I removed the Virtual Directories. I have no problem rebuilding them in exchange 2003 but for some reason using the shell it always gives me fits.

I ran that and then looked in the event log and found a ASP.NET 2.0 error: Failed while restarting W3SVC. Error code: 0x8007041c
From there I found that I should update .net framework. I checked the Auto updates and there are 4 security updates for .net framework 2.0 (server 2003) and then there is also tollup 5 for exchange server 2007 sp3.
In the forum:
http://eventid.net/display.asp?eventid=1024&eventno=9665&source=ASP.NET 1.1.4322.0&phase=1 said to install:
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=6523
Should I proceed with the auto updates or just install the .net above? Do I need to do this during after hours while exchange services are down or can I do so while exchange is live?Craig Becker

I am have a heck of a time rebuilding virtual directories in the Shell:
OWA
EWS - webservices
Active sync
OAB
UM
and Autodiscover
Could some please profile me with some useful information on how to rebuild these? I get confused on which part is the virtual directory and which part is the website itself.
Thank youCraig Becker

You can read this blog.
All directories are virtual directory not part of IIS.
