The last time I saw this happen was with a 3rd party driver. Is there a modem installed on this server? If so, try uninstalling the driver for that. I've seen servers hang on theses before and it turned out to be the fax monitor (that wasn't even being used!)

Have you tried booting into safe mode and then shutting down. If it does shut down in safe mode then at least you will know what isn't causing it.

Not much help i'm affraid but i had the same problem with a SBS 2000 server. It needed a rebuild for other reasons and that sorted it.
Bit excessive for your problem though.
