If Outlook 98 Was Installed on an SBS 4.0 server:
If you have already installed Outlook 98 on a SBS 4.0 system, everything on the
server should work except the Manage Server console. To bring the console back,
two options are available:

Apply Small Business Server Service Pack 1 upgrade. This is available through
Microsoft on compact disc for the cost of shipping, or on TechNet, but it is not
downloadable.
Use the steps in the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base to upgrade
to SP1.
