Windows Server 2003 – Install SMTP Service Without Installation CD

iisinstallationsmtpwindows-server-2003

I need to modify my development environment, a virtual image using Windows 2003 SP2, to install the SMTP service under IIS (6.0). The virtual image is a corporate build, and I do not have access to the installation disc (and going through the corporate channels, this may take several days). Is there any way I can add the SMTP service without the install disc?

If there is alternative way of having an email service working on the virtual image, that also would be useful.

Thanks, MagicAndi

I Agreed with Sam, if you don't have the disk or i386 folder, then you'll probably have difficulties.

You could try downloading Sp2, and extracting the i386 folder from it (it's a while ago when I tried that, and can't remember if it worked).

Alternatively, schmooze the IT dept, or go for some third party SMTP server.

I'd imagine the IT dept would rather you use the MS one, than install a third party app...
