Reconnecting to databases in SharePoint after server wipe
My Windows Server 2003 box died which had WSS 3.0 on it. The server has been wiped and I still have the SQL Server intact. Everything is reinstalling now; can I just reinstall SharePoint and “reconnect” to the databases that already are there or do I need to start all over?
