That is usually associated with trying to add domain accounts. Are there any
pertinent events in Event Viewer? Try using "net localgroup administrators" to see
what it reports. You might try to do a fast repair install as described in the link
below if nothing seems to help. To do that boot from the install cdrom and follow
install instructions until the time install asks you if you want to do a new
installation or repair existing installation and you would want to select
epair. --- Steve

I have this problem too. I have re-run sp4 and looked in EL, but I cant seem to view any of the details of the logs. If I connect to the EL from a remote machine, there is nothing unusual. Would love to do a repair, but the guy before me has nicked my 2000 media and we now only have media for 2003 (I cant upgrade at the moment by the way, as I dont have time, but will be in the schools holiday)
