We have a server running MOSS2007 with all websites and content in SQL on same server, we have full systems and SQL and stsadm backups of the db's

The Central Admin site has been removed from IIS and when we run the Microsoft Offer Server -> SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard it errors after confirming we're okay with stopping services, the error is posted at the end of this post

It is my understanding that if we get the wizard to run it will rebuild the missing site and get us back where we started - is this so?

TIA
Tony
