Fax and monitoring broken

SBS 2k3 R2, all updates to day.

all of the sudden srver is failing everywhere, incoming fazes doesn't work
anymore(doesn't stores them in public folder, nor in the sbs site, nor i
receive email alerts), monitoring and reporting is broken too, the event
viewer is filled with errors, most of the time event 4104.

i've tried reinstalling the monitoring services to no avail, trying to
configure it returns in an error, i've also reinstalled the R2 technologies
previously due to another error.

any ideas?

Can we have more details on the errors in the event logs, please, and also
any on screen messages when things don't work correctly?

Have you downloaded, updated, and run the best practices analyzer?

Larry,
SBS reports no errors, it was already being used for a long time.

Details:
on the reporting section of the server admin i get a blank screen, if i try
to reconfigure it, it fails on all 4 configuration steps.

Hello Lovato,

Thanks for your post and Larry's input.

Based on the current situation, I'd like suggest you perform the following steps to reinstall SBS monitoring components:

a. Control Panel -> Add Remove Program -> Windows Small Business Server 2003. Set Server Tools to Maintenance. Set Monitoring to Uninstall
b. Control Panel -> Add Remove Program -> SBSMONITORING -> Remove
c. Delete C:\program files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL$SBSMONITORING Folder
d. Reboot
e. Control Panel -> Add Remove Program -> Windows Small Business Server 2003. Set Server Tools to Maintenance. Set Monitoring to Install
f. Reboot
g. Start MSSQL$SBSMONITORING and SQLAgent$SBSMONITORING services
h. In Server Management Console -> Monitoring and Reporting: run the Set Up Monitoring Reports and Alerts wizard.

Does it work now?

If the issue persists however, you may try to reinstall Windows Server 2003 SP2 to see if it changes.

Hope this helps. Also, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to let me know.
