Gavin,

The only erors that I see are as follows:

The server service was unable to recreate the share Ghost because the
directory C:\Ghost images of SBS no longer exists. Please run "net share
Ghost /delete" to delete the share, or recreate the directory C:\Ghost images
of SBS.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

And

The time provider NtpClient was unable to find a domain controller to use as
a time source. NtpClient will try again in 15 minutes.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

Both of these errors occur within the time frame that the applying computer
settings is hanging.
