Judging by your error messages, I'm taking it that your errorlog.txt errors
look something like:

"[MM/DD/YY,14:39:45] Server Configuration: [2] An error occurred while
accessing
domain information. Open Active Directory Users and Computers, and verify
that
objects appear. Rerun Setup.
[MM/DD/YY,14:39:45] Server Configuration: [2]
CSuiteHelpComponentRoot::PreInstall:
RefreshAdmin failed with error [80072030]!"

If so, the problem is caused by missing Display Identifiers in Active
Directory. The error
0x80072030 actually means "Object not found" as the SBS Setup searches for
specific
Display Specifiers.

The solution to the symptoms described above should only be followed if the
exact errors as described under the symptoms section are logged in the
Errorlog.txt
file.

To add the missing Display Specifiers follow the section "Rebuilding
Non-English
Display Specifiers" in the following article:

| Hi All. I am getting two error messages when I try to
| upgrade my W2K Server to SBS2003:
|
| 1) An error occurred while accessing domain information.
| Open Active Directory Users and Computers and verify that
| objects appear. Rerun setup.
|
| 2) An error occurred while copying files for the server
| tools component. See (logfile) for the list of files that
| were not copied.
|
| Any idea how to resolve either or both of these problems?
