I have installed Windows 200 Advanced Server and I am trying to install Exchange Server 2000. When I try to install Exchange Server, I get an error message that reads:

"The NNTP component of Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) is not installed"

I have tried installing NNTP, but nowhere in setup or components does it give me the option to. How can I fix this?!?!

To install NNTP:
Click Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs
When that loads, click Add/Remove Windows Components
That will make the Windows Component Wizard open.
Click on Internet Information Services (IIS) to highlight it,then click the Details button.
This will open the individual components of IIS. Scroll down until you see NNTP Service. Click the checkbox next to it, then click OK.
Click Next to do the install. You will probably need the Win2k Server CD in the cd-rom drawer.

If you do not already have any of the IIS components installed (like the Common Files), this will install them also. Basically, anything checked that was not checked before will be installed.

hope this helps
