Has anyone run into this?. I have playing with the Win2000 registry to find all the hardware items (so I can delete the key after restoring the registry and add the hardware key for the server we are using), but still no luck. Is there any other area I need to look at?

Then you will be able to recover to the testbox. You will not be able to do any backups/restores on your production server while your test in in progress.

According to the Redbook SG24-6141-00 I have to Name the computer the same as the one I am trying to recover. My problem is that the recovering Server is still in production and I would like to do a test recovery of this server. I have installed Minimum OS on this second machine, and it is in its own work Group. But when I try to name the Server the same as the recovering server, I get a message that a duplicate name found on the Network. How can I name the second server as the same as the first server and at the same time be able to see the TSM Server without connecting the our main Network? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
