WSS 3.0 SP3 Upgrade Problem

Question
-
Hello,
I have upgraded my WSS 3.0 server to Service Pack 3. After the upgrade, the websites are working, however the Central Administration is returning "404 page not found" error.
When i run SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard to upgrade the farm the following error occurs:
---------------------
Failed to initiate the upgrade sequence. An exception of type Microsoft.SharePoint.Upgrade.SPUpgradeException was thrown. Additional exception information: The specified SPContentDatabase Name=SharePoint_AdminContent_b9b2f785-0e0c-4e15-9140-2a8c45226114 Parent=SPDatabaseServiceInstance Name=Microsoft##SSEE has been upgraded to a newer version of SharePoint. Please upgrade this SharePoint application server before attempting to access this object.
-----------------
Then i tried running psconfig -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -force -wait but this returned an error as well:
--------------------

Thank you for your help.

Hi Gabriela,
Here is a solution from Sunil Kumar’s blog.
Solution: To resolve this issue run the file GB4-KB941678-x86-eng.exe on the SharePoint server. You can download this file from the Microsoft site. URL : http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=CC532C9D-9697-4F9B-B690-733A610C075F&displaylang=en

Hi Jack,
Thank you for your help, however, i get the same error when running psconfig.
After that i tried to manually uninstall Group Board and it solved my problems.
Thank you again for your help.
