Reinstalling Service Pack 2
Based on the problems I identified in my previous post, the resolution is to re-install Service Pack 2. However, Windows Server doesn't let you re-install an SP - or remove it from Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs.
To reinstall SP2 for SPS do the following
1. Extract the hotfix package using Winzip.
2. Run:msiexec /p full path to the V2SP2Packlet.msp REINSTALLMODE=VAMUS /l*v c:\filename.log /qb!+
This will force all files to be reinstalled, regardless of checksum or version. It will also log all actions in the c:\filename.log file.
To reinstall WSS SP2, run
stsadm -o upgrade -forceupgrade
from the command line

I don't see the option to repair SP2 from add/remove progs. Are you sure it is there? The WSS reinstall worked.
Thanks

Sorry about the mixup in the first post.
