Error Count not obtain information about Windows NT group/user

We receive an error as the server attempts to create a publication. The user
has permissions on both the server as an administrator and as an sa. This
conflict should not occur. Can anyone help to explain this? It has been
suggested we go to SP4. There are concerns about firmware and blue screening
on the primary server at this time may preclude sp4 as an option.
Regards,
Jamie
Is there a possibility that when an Enterprise 2005 version of SQL encounters
a Standard version 2000, that this error pops up?
