WINNT 'server' service will not start

Not much information to diagnose from. However, the first thing I would do would be to re-apply the current service pack. I have seen were some of the SP files become corrupt and the OS does not load correctly.
Next, Check your eventviewer log files. What errors, IDs, etc can you find to point to the problem. Is it a faulty device, bad or corrupted device driver. What about hardware problems, is there dust inside the case? what about re-seating your cables.

The above things should be checked first to point to the exact problem. From your information, there is not much one can diagnose. Hope this helps.

Bugs

Sorry Bugs the Bunny, I should have mentioned that all the latest service packs for WINNT SBS 4.5 and Exchsrvr 5.5 and Outlook 2000 were installed but since this have been unable to reapply any and even a reinstall of SBS. weird. the event logs only give me 0005(access denied) error for the 'server' service and 1068 error(dependency) for other services. Oh and the 'spoolss' service will not start with 'RPC server unavailable. checked all MKB articles.

I know that this may sound kinda of funky, try
shutting down the Server, turn it off,
diconnect the cable going into the nic card,
then turn on the server. See if it starts ok.
You can still sign on to the domain even though
is disconnected. Once it logs in while the
server is still on, plug the network cable
back in the nic and see what happens. The
best way to test it is to click on Network
Neighboorhood and see if displays all the
stations. (You may need to wait a few minutes)
I had a similar problem and by doing it this way
was able to get the server going. Eventually
I changed the cable and replugged it in another
hub and since then it's been ok. Like I said
this answer is kinda funky.
