Personally, if you don't already have non-backed up user data on the
server, I'd wipe the drive and reinstall from the DVD's and apply all updates.

It seems that whenever I start getting used to trusting the images that
Apple puts on new machines, I get one that has a corrupt 'out-of-box' install.
