Hi,
same problem I have had. I thought it was a problem, but found that there was information on it within the MS website.
Simply put, what SBS2003 is doing is installing updates that were released after SBS03 was made. It does stop for ages, I actually thought there were problems, and reinstalled twice. (ick!) It is mentioned if you look in the knowledge base for "registering components" under SBS 2003's product family.
First one off the rank I believe.
Cheers
