HELP: Can't reinstall SBS components via MAINTENANCE / REINSTALL

When i try to reinstall SBS components via MAINTENANCE mode and then
reinstall Intranet, Administration and Networking i get errors like the
following (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Integration\Windows Small Business
Server 2003\Logs\SBSMSI-admin.log)

All 3 subcomponents fail to install. I want to reinstall because i can't
install EXCHANGE on my existing SBS config (fails while creating
distribution groups during setup). I guess my SBS config is screwed up, but
i can't reinstall. The machine is in production. Maybe it is because i
imported users from old nt4 server via a temp W2K server (installed NT4,
upgraded to PDC, upgraded to W2K and then migrated users to SBS2003 server
AD)

I'm completely stuck, so i hope someone can help me out of this ...

Hello Serge,
I'll try to take a shot at helping you although you might want to talk to
PSS if you're in a critical "Server Down" situation and can't afford to be
losing a day or more.

Looks to me like you had some problems migrating users, particularly
something about your Power Users group and then your Install attempted to
roll back.

I recommend starting over. If your original NT4 PDC exists you can always
start from the beginning again.
Your migration plan seems good enough...
NT4 Domain > NT4 BDC > Promote to PDC > Upgrade to Win2K DC > Upgrade to
Win2K3 DC > Upgrade to SBS2K3

I also recommend taking a look at Jeff Middleton's Swing Migration, it'll
probably be very worthwhile as a guide although it's mainly intended to
migrate from SBS2K to SBS2K3
