Remove IIS 6.0 to create clean slate?

External Since: Jun 03, 2004 Posts: 1

I've been exploring Windows SharePoint Services with Separate Active
Directory Directory Service Organization Unit Deployment.

In the process I've renamed my SharePoint server a couple of times, created
various applicaton pools and maybe messed things up a bit. For example the
first computer name is still used in the metabase.

I don't have any sites I plan to keep. Now that I'm getting the hang of
things it would be nice to start over, but not go all the way to
reinstalling the server OS.

Is there any problem with removing and reinstalling IIS 6.0 to get a clean
slate? Or will it not clean the slate or create other problems I don't
anticipate?

THANKS!

I wouldn't recommend removing and reinstalling anything just to get a clean=
slate. Are there webs, ftp, smtp in IIS6 you don't want? Then just delete=
them. No telling what you can run into by removing IIS and reinstalling=
it.
