To fix and restore the missing system icons in Vista (similar steps in Server 2008) notification area or system tray, right click on the black/empty space on the system tray itself, or on the taskbar.

In the Taskbar and Start Menu Properties dialog window that appears, click on Notification Area tab if it’s not already there.

In the System Icons section, tick the check box for Clock, Volume, Network or Power components to display the corresponding icons in system tray.

Thanks for your quick response. The Volume and network check boxes were also disabled. I used gpedit.msc to enable them. – pauly Sep 7 '09 at 16:20
