Re: 2003 SP1 Issue

You don't have the APC power chute software installed do you.

If so, set the 2 APC services to manual and reboot. Then upgrade
immediately to version 7. The security certificate that the APC version 6
software uses expired on 27th July, and so the services never start - they
stick at the "starting" point.

This is just a suggestion, but you might want to post this question to the
Active Directory newsgroup at
