Cannot log into HP server after SmartStart Installation of Windows 2008

After using the HP SmartStart 8.5 CD to clean  install Windows 2008 to a ML350 G5 server I discovered I couldn’t log into the completed OS installation.

As soon as the brief moment of panic and anxiety went away I thought that maybe the password I used for the administrator during setup might have been to long (20 Characers). After truncating each character in turn I found that the password the SmartStart disc used was shorted to 14 characters.

We were receiving the below error whilst trying to run System Information on a Windows 2003 server running SP2.

Help and Support Error

Windows cannot open Help and Support because a system service is not running.

To fix this problem, start the service named ‘Help and Support’.

3. Type “start /w helpsvc /svchost netsvcs /regserver /install”

4. open the Services.msc
