Couldn't find a forum for it so thought I'd try here. I have a client who has purchased the above product but when it was installed it was done so seperately and not by using the Small Biz wizard. As a result there are no Small Biz admin/config snap-ins and they also get an event ID 221 for exchange getting close to the licence limit when they easily have 10 spare! When ever they try and install a new CAL, it says it's not running on Small Business Server (although I have sorted this via the registry) So my question is, how can I get the system to recognise that it is a full Small Biz install and install the snap ins without having to do a complete re-build?

I'm not sure if there is any good way to do it. Might try searching MS knowledgebase.
Other than that, I would use EXMERGE to export mail to PSTs, uninstall all the separately installed stuff like Exchange, SQL, ISA, etc. to get back to a base Win2k server, then run the SBS setup wizard to get it right. After that, reimport the PSTs back into Exchange using EXMERGE again.

I had a similar problem and I fixed everything by running the small business wizard in add/remove programs.
I reinstalled EXCH with this and it picked up all my settings and users mailboxes. I didn't lose any info, rather I think it simply re-linked my EX2k install to my SBS domain and after that I could successfully apply service packs for EX2K.
This happened on a new server that I was building and the problem started when I couldn't apply EX2k sp3.
