Hi Christian! I doubt whether your procedure will work. TSM will not allow you to replace files which are locked by the OS. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you will have to install Win2k initially in a different directory. This way you can restore the complete original windows folder afterwards. I don't really know why you should apply the service pack, but my guess is that it has to do with the kernel file which resides in the root. If it's version differs from the other OS files in the windows directory, you will probably see strange behavior. Kindest regards, Eric van Loon KLM Royal Dutch Airlines

If I want to do a manual recovery of my Windows 2000 server do I need to do this steps. * Install Windows 2000 * Join the domain * Install the same Serivce Pack as before. * Install the same TSM version or later. * Restore the System State * Restore all files So my question is. Why do I need to install the same Service Pack. Can´t TSM write over all files and replece the files when the system is reboot?
