SMTP Server does not show up under IIS 6.0

I have a windows 2003 web edition server that runs IIS 6.0 In order to test another mail server I removed the SMTP option. Later I reinstalled the SMTP service, however it does not show up in the INTERNET INFORMATION SERVICES MANAGER.

The service is running, but I cannot make any modification.

Does anybody know how to put this smtp server back into the IIS manager ?

Best regards

SMTP Does Not Appear in the IIS Manager
Author: Jonathan Maltz MVP

Symptom
After the installation of the SMTP service on Windows Server 2003, the SMTP tree may not appear in the IIS Manager console.

For the Windows 2000/IIS 5.0 version of this article, please see:
"IIS 5: SMTP and NNTP Virtual Server Missing in Internet Services Manager"

Resolution
Method 1: Click the "Start" button, then "Run…" and type:
regsvr32 %systemroot%\system32\inetsrv\smtpsnap.dll
Alternatively, %systemroot% can be replaced with the drive Windows Server 2003 is installed on

Method 2: Uninstalling and re-installing IIS including the SMTP service has also proven to fix the problem, it is, however, recommended to try method 1 first.
