I had this problem and did the following:

1. from sbs console removed the computer from sbs
2. on the desktop, changed from domain to workgroup
3. on the sbs created a computer to the diskette
4. on the desktop with diskette from #3 ran setup which added the
computer back to the domain.

It solved my problem, but maybe was just dumb luck!
