I have a first-time in-place upgrade from Windows 2003 R2 to SBS 2003 R2. Windows is completely patched. The SBS 2003 is a retail (not OEM) set. I have read and acknowledged all the warnings and followed the procedure outlined in

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sbs/2003/plan/gsg/chptr3c.mspx

As directed I ran adprep /forestprep first. After entering the product key, the install runs about 5 seconds and completes with a block message that simply says "Set was interrupted because of either user intervention or an unexpected error."

Help...
