Step 1: Back up existing Exchange-related IIS virtual directories

Brien M. Posey
Although the current Exchange-related IIS virtual directories are damaged, I still recommend backing them up prior to deleting them, just in case something were to go wrong during the regeneration.

  1. To back up the existing virtual directories, open the IIS Manager console and navigate to your server -> Web Sites -> Default Web Site.

  2. Right click on the Default Web Site and select Save Configuration to a File.

  3. Enter a file name to use for the configuration data, verify that the path is appropriate, and click OK.
