After discovering that the \scripts folder has magically disappeared from IIS, and noting that nothing works anymore, I backed up the web configuration and data files, then followed the MS instructions for removing and reinstalling IIS. Big mistake!

Using the same Win2K Server CD I installed from a year ago on this then-new machine, many of the critical files (including iis.msc) were not found, and all of the smpt and nntp files are missing from the CD. It is undamaged, not a scratch on it, and it installed perfectly without a hitch the first time.

After reinstalling, skipping the missing files, I recreated the iis.msc file from mmc.exe and saved it. The entire structure is there, including the formerly absent \scripts folder, but now the asp pages I was developing no longer work. All the FrontPage Extensions were also missing from the CD, so I downloaded the newer FrontPage2002 files and installed them. It now tells me that I lack permissions to use the extensions, even though I'm logged on as the Admin for the system.

I'm guessing that I'm going to have to reinstall Win2K completely, along with the IIS component, to restore normal operation, but I have so much installed on top of it that I doubt I can recover all of it. In the past, previous versions of Windows have been very good about preserving installed drivers, data files, and most programs. Has anyone reinstalled Windows2K Server? How did it go, and what kinds of things did you lose?

It is ok for women not to like sports, so long as they nod in the right places and bring beers at the right times.
