I am receiving the following event on my 2003 server.

DMI Indication: Event type "Power Supply Likely to Fail" reported for Ppower Supply Group.

I don't know how to proceed to troubleshoot. We have a UPS. Is this event referring to our UPS or is it referring to the power supply in our server?

I did a search on Microsoft site and Google for this message and couldn't find any help.

Thanks for any help.

That sounds pretty straight forward, you probably have a failing power supply. Most servers have status LEDs on the back of the chassis or front alarm lights to indicate such.
I have the oddest DMI message - status keeps changing between lower critical and non crital with "voltage probes" and my dual power supplies are fine. My guess is I am looking at a failing VRM header for one of the redundant CPU's.
You ought to just replace your power supply before it dies :)
