Hi chaps,

I'm trying to upgrade from Sharepoint Services 3 to Microsoft Office 
SHarepoint Server 2007. 

I have a problem when running the Sharepoint Products and Technologies 
Configuration Wizard in the Office Server program group. It runs 
through fine, but displays a failed status at the end. 

The event log has this in it; 

Event Type: Error 
Event Source: SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration 
Wizard 
Event Category: None 
Event ID: 104 
Date:  8/13/2008 
Time:  12:57:34 PM 
User:  N/A 
Computer: SHAREPOINT 
Description:

It refers to "The specified account name is invalid" only i havent 
been asked for an account name yet. Currently MOSS isnt working and 
neither is SPS now, so I'm up against it. 

Has anyone else seen this ? Can anyone help ?  I can't find anything
about this specific error on the googleynet or on any of the common
sharepoint forums so I thought I would ask the collective nerd-mind.

Olly
