SMTP not showing in IIS Console

I am trying to set up an Exchange 2003 server. Exchange requires SMTP to be installed/running but won't install if POP3 is installed. I started out by using the Manage Your Server utility to set up a "mail server", which installed both.
Next I used Manage Your Server and uninstalled both. Then I went into Add/Remove Windows Components and added back just SMTP.

Here's the problem... after all this I don't see anything about SMTP in my IIS Console. Usually you see the default SMTP server and have the menu item available to add additional SMTP virtual servers, etc. I don't see any of this.

Any ideas?

smtp doesn't show up in my iis console either. Look for it in the exchange snapin (run MMC, click add snapin, add exchange, drill down to administrative groups/first/servers/your sever/protocals and you'll see smtp.

You're thinking of the SMTP Virtual Server. Follow the instructions to open your system manager in the previous message. There you will be able to manipulate the Exchange SMTP Settings.

Virtual Server is for Web based applications to use to send emails, etc.

That's right.

Quite simple, I just had the exact same issue.

Go to a command prompt and enter:

regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\inetsrv\smtpsnap.dll

Bingo! Your SMTP snap-in is back where it was before. A stupid bug.
