I would try to log onto the local console and use the local admin for the installation

Hi,
 
Because windows 2003 has its own allocation system (which is a oem of a previous version of storage exec called storage central) there is a clash in the filter drivers. You will need to first desable the filter drives in the device manager by selecting hidden devices. Once this is disabled reinstall storage exec and all should be fine.
