I think there are two separate issues that are being confused here.

a) Windows 2003 Server has "Internet Explorer Enhanced Security
Configuration" installed by default. This is a Windows component that
restricts what IE can do. You can uninstall this via Settings ->
Add/Remove Programs Control Panel -> Windows Components

b) Windows XP SP2 has changes to Internet Explorer. However these are
completely unrelated to any issues you'd be having running IE on Windows
2003 Server. Windows XP SP2 does not run on Windows 2003 Server.

Cheers
Ken
