Turns out a Microsoft solution fixed my e-smith server :) "Microsoft TechNet Knowledge Base Article 000-00001 When all else fails reboot the server." Everything working now. The interesting side note on this was that I had thought I was remotely rebooting the server on several other occasions after my upgrades just to be sure everything re-started properly. This was not the case... <life-lesson> The problem was that my server was not responding to the (shutdown -r now) command. Turns out this is a relatively common problem. I issued a simple (reboot) from the command line and everything came back up 100% after the reboot. </life-lesson> There was probably nothing wrong with the server but since I was using the wrong commands for the chroot environment (service start/stop/restart/status) etc. I hadn't properly re-started the named service. Thanks to Charlie and Jelmer for their help.
