Hi: The command is sc config audiosrv start= auto Note the spacing. If you have sighted help, they can also just enable the service from the services.msc snappin. Also, you really shouldn't be using Windows Server 2003 anymore, if you are using this in a production environment, there are many security issues putting that environment at risk, and Windows Server 2003 is no longer getting security patches. If you are running this in a test environment or for learning, the benefits are very minor as newer versions of Windows server have significant changes making several of the concepts that applied in Windows Server 2003 not apply anymore. You should really use something more modern if at all possible.
