It's rather difficult to trace it back. It goes beyond the log limits.
I'm checking that server only when the client tells me something wrong
is going on which is rather quite rare. I spotted that problem when
checking another one. So I can't really tell when this particular one
started occurring and what has changed. The only thing the client does
on that server is storing their data and emails. They install all the
critical updates themselves which is the only change they do to the
system without consulting. Possibly one of the updates could have
triggered that error. As to the SBS SP1 according to the Add/Remove
Programs list it is there. If BPA says it wasn't installed
successfully it may mean that parts of the installation failed at
which point I wonder if it would be safe to uninstall it based only on
BPA diagnostics. The service pack was installed mid 2007 so it's been
running for quite a while, who knows what can go wrong when trying to
remove it at this point...
