NTDS Inter-site Messaging ERROR!

The situation is this. I have an SBS 2003 server that I have recently
been put in charge of fixing. When I began, I noticed that Exchange did
not work at all. Everything seemed to be in place but in the system
manager there was no message store/mailboxes under First Storage Group
(Although the EDB files etc. existed). None of the Exchange Services
would start. I then looked in ADSI edit and noticed that there was no
referance to the server name under Exchange>Server which was present on
other servers that I manage.

I decided to uninstall Exchange and re-install. The strange thing is
that during uninstallation, the Messaging and Colaboration components
fail to uninstall and the Exchange services are still listed in
Services.msc but, of course will not start.

Now I am receiving the following messages in the Directory Service
Event Log every half hour or so.

__________________________________________________ _______________________________

The Intersite Messaging service could not receive any messages for the
following service through the following transport. The query for
messages failed.

Service:
NTDS Replication
Transport:
CN=SMTP,CN=Inter-Site
Transports,CN=Sites,CN=Configuration,DC=bbinsuranc emarketing,DC=com

Additional Data
Error value:
2147942526 The specified module could not be found.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

__________________________________________________ ________________________________

Internal error: The Intersite Messaging service using the SMTP
transport has encountered an error originating from the Collaboration
Data Object (CDO) library.

Additional Data
Error value:
8007007e The specified module could not be found.
Internal ID:
285672814

For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
__________________________________________________ ________________________________

The SMTP service is installed and running. I can telnet localhost 25
and send an HELO.
This is the only DC in the domain.

Any advice would be greatly appriciated.

I have been researching this for hours and trying many possible fixes.
I found this article which may be helpful:
http://groups.google.com/group/micro...0a8233586e86de

Finally, I simply added an SMTP Site Link and the events seem to have
stopped. I have a domain with one SBS server and another W2K3 server
connected via a WAN VPN. I checked the automatically generaged
replication objects and they both are set to use IP. I don't know if
this will be a permanent fix or the problem will resurface, but I hope
this helps you.
