weird occurances with windows 2000 DC

[Guest]

I have a windows 2000 server that has the following symptoms:

Cannot intall or uninstall anything... cannot start windows installer
service
Cannot view Network Connections Properties
Random Services in starting status
Cannot stop/start services
Cannot change startup options for services

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;307309

have viewed above article and did the resolution and didn't seem to work.
the symptoms in the above article describe my problem to a tee. Any
suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Is this server a member server or a Domain Controller?

Opps! I guess it is also in the subject line, isn't it?

Okay, nominate this one for the dumbest question of the week!

Just a general question: have you run dcdiag? That would, however, require
you to have installed the Support Tools already.

Is this the only Domain Controller in the environment?
