Update Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPServer ?

I have this error how do i fix?

Microsoft.SharePoint.Upgrade.SPUpgradeException: Action 3.0.2.0 of Microsoft.SharePoint.Upgrade.SPConfigurationDatabaseSequence2 failed. > System.ArgumentException: The id ac4f0012-2b5d-4b61-a683-5c5423e90b9b is in use. An Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPServer named "<Localserver>" is using the same id as the new object named "<Localserver>" of type Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPServer. Every object must contain a unique id. Either update the new object's id or delete the existing object and try again.

The unique thing its grow, is the problems.....

Getting exact same error message. Trying to do an in place upgrade from WSS 2.0 to 3.0 with front end web server and backend SQL Server 2000 SP3a database. Error occurs after the install when running the Sharepoint Configuration Wizard during Step 2.

I'm also having a similar issue, my error reports as such:

Just an update, never found a solution to this problem, however performing a gradual upgrade rather than an in-place upgrade did not result in this error. Ended up going this route on our production server and have had no issues.

Thanks for the update wlee. I had the same issue (and lest anybody wonder, my app pool identity was most decidedly not local server). Reinstalling sans in-place upgrade avoided the apparently misguided check. It occurs to me that it may have been looking at some other web site and app pool, but hard to say since the error information is just a sad little stack crawl.

I just reviewed my install....apparently upgrade in place attempts to reuse the default web server (port 80). If you have some other site configured there, then it will try to create a new web MOSS web app in that site, reusing the existing site app pool and identity.

When you do a gradual upgrade, the existing default web site is stopped and a new site and app pool are created using network service as the identity. Obviously all of this rearranging without a heads up is not ideal, but there you have it.

I can tell you that one thing you need to fix is your SQL 2000 backend. WSS 3.0 requires SQL Server 2000 SP4 or greater.

AHA! That sounds like the answer to my problem. I'm having the same or similar problem upgrading to wss 3.0

How do i get to a point where i can do a gradual upgrade, seeing as i can't roll back the upgrade?
