the option to enable/disable addons is greyed out and all addons are disabled.

there is no group policy in place to control the addons.

Everything was working and then after a server reboot, this can not be changed in any of our 10 2003 servers :)

Correctly asked questions will receive a better answer.
 
Go to Internet Options> Advanced> Browsing. Verify that "Enable third-party
browser extensions" is checked.

Does the problem still occur if you launch IE7 from Start> Run> iexplore.exe
instead of using the IE shortcut?
 
You can also try the following steps:

Send the ie7 shortcut on your desktop to the recycle bin
then go to "accessories>system tools" and delete the "IE7 with No Add-ons"

Control Panel>Admin Tools
Event Viewer
Right click Internet Explorer
click "Clear all Events"
When you close, do not save

These were not my steps, but some steps I found elsewhere that might help you out.
