I was able to succsessfully get this to work with ASR, the server did come up on the newer hardware. I have some minor application issues but at least it booted successfully.

For 2003, you need to be running at least client 5.2.3, or it isn't going to work. TSM 5.3.2 is better. Look in the client manual under "ASR". Works like a champ.
...except if having a DHCP server on the desired network segment is a problem. ASR restore will NOT work without one, and that's an issue in many server rooms. You can do a complete system rebuild without the ASR process. Basically (and this is just a skeleton): 1. Install the Windows OS, including the service pack present at the time of the failure. (You don't have to worry about the hotfixes and patches.) Get the network card going. 2. Install the TSM client used at the time of failure. Configure it properly. 3. Restore all non-systemdisk (usually C:) drives with TSM. 4. Restore the C: drive. DO NOT REBOOT EVEN IF ASKED TO. 5. Restore the systemservices. DO NOT REBOOT EVEN IF ASKED TO. 6. Restore the systemstate. 7. NOW, reboot the system. You should be back in business. Please, please drill this process. You should practice disaster recovery before you HAVE to. -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) US Bank MR Backup and Recovery Management ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ Electronic Privacy Notice.
