Can't logon from workstation as Administrator

We just upgraded our SBS 2003 Premium server to SP1. Everything seemed to go
smoothly, including the ISA 2004 upgrade.

However, now I can't logon to the server from any of the workstations as
Administrator. The system hangs at the "Applying your personal settings"
screen for appx. 20 to 30 minutes!!! When it finally gets past this point,
all you see on the desktop is the wallpaper. Pressing CTRL-ALT-DEL
eventually allows you to get to Task Manager, etc. so individual apps can be
browsed/run, but the desktop, taskbar, etc. never appears. Examining the
Event Viewer shows a few Error 40960 and 40961 issues, as if the server
isn't there or can't authenticate the client.

The weird thing is: all other user accounts can login normally from the
workstations (no errors in Event Viewer, no slowdown, etc.). It's only the
Administrator account that has this problem - and it has this problem from
every workstation I've tried. Everything (including the Administrator login)
worked fine prior to the upgrade.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can shed some light on this problem!
