Hi, Richard. Generally what we do is: Load new system with W2K Server, service packs, and TSM client. Set hostname to same name as old system.
Restore all drives and then the system object. Take care to NOT reboot before everything is restored. Reboot. Now - if you are restoring to the same hardware configuration, everything should be OK at this point. If you have not used the same - and I mean the exact same - hardware, boot from the W2K install CD. At the first prompt, tell setup that you want to install, not repair. Then setup will detect that Windows is installed on the hard drive and at the second prompt you tell it that you want to repair. Then setup will go through and detect all the hardware and reload the files in system32. After you reboot things should be good. Your mileage may vary - this is generally what we do at disaster-recovery exercises and it works well.

I tried a test restore by just building a win2k server and loading TSM client 5.2 on it and restoring from a backup set. I did a backup of the original print server first including system objects before I tried restoring to the test server. They both are the same hardware but when the restore complete I rebooted the server and now the keyboard and mouse won't work. Basically, does anyone have a good method of restoring a Win2k os. I know that an os restore is possible with win2003 and xp but what about win2k. The documentation seems to be very simple on this subject.
