SBS Setup Error: An error occurred while creating user accounts...

I'm hoping somebody has seen this error before and knows how to get by it.

I have a brand new, fresh install of SBS (brought current settings over via
a swing migration, had no issues that I can identify with that). I have
rebuilt the server completely a few times, so I can pretty much rule out a
bad install.

At the end of the SBS Setup, I get the error: "An error occurred while
creating user accounts. Open Active Directory Users and Computers, manually
create a test user to verify that Active Directory is running. Rerun setup."
I'm then prompted to restart the server, but it doesn't think it has finished
the setup successfully and still keeps the "Continue Setup" icon on the
desktop.

Everything is functional from what I can see: Exchange, OWA, Companyweb, etc.

I have included logs from that setup below. Please let me know if you'd
like any additional information.

Thanks!
