We have a Server 2003 x64 machine, after installing SP2 the following Windows components doesn't work: Help and Support Windows Search Reinstalling the help and support service doesn't fix the problem (http://blogs.technet.com/b/sbs/archive/2007/03/20/help-and-support-service-missing-after-installing-windows-2003-service-pack-2.aspx) Any ideas?

anything in the event log?

No, nothing see in the eventlog.. I have tried reinstalling de pchealth.inf but no result

see if you have this key inplace HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\helpsvchttp://www.virmansec.com/blogs/skhairuddin

The key exists already. I have removed the key en import helpsvc key from a another server but no luck.

is the service listed in services ?? Check below as well Click Start, Run and type Regedit.exe Navigate to the following location: HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ Advanced In the right-pane, create a new REG_DWORD value named NoStartMenuHelp Double-click NoStartMenuHelp and set it's value to from 1 to 0 Close Regedit. http://www.virmansec.com/blogs/skhairuddin

yes, status: started.

for search see this To use the group policy editor, do the following: Go to Start –> Run –> gpedit.msc The group policy editor will open. Now go to the following key: User Configuration –> Administrative templates –> Start Menu and Task Bar In the right hand pane, select “Remove Search menu from Start menu” Most probably it will be set to enabled. Just disable it once, click Apply and then select “Not Configured” and again click Apply. OK.http://www.virmansec.com/blogs/skhairuddin

Thnx Syed but it doesn't resolved my problem.. When i start gpedit.msc, i don't see the content of the Group policy objects. That means that gpedit.msc also not works

did u tried with registry ? please see the abov post and let me know http://www.virmansec.com/blogs/skhairuddin

Yes i tried but it doesn't resolve my problem

Download 2003admsetup.msi and install. Check PATH environmental variable value. If ok try running gpedit.msc Please also check these articles kb 304718 and KB 826282. Thanks
