The only "issues" that I can think of would be Windows ACLs and SIDs.  Was the 
NT server upgraded to W2K3?  Or was the data moved from one machine to another? 
 If so, there may be a SID issue because you're laying down files on a 
different system.  At any rate, there are documented MS caveats for copying 
files across filesystems; if you do so you generally lose the original ACLs and 
get new ones based upon the user that is doing the copying.  So perhaps the new 
permissions on the W2K3 system are the same as the Administrator perms, or 
whoever the TSM client runs as.

I have a client that migrated an NT server's data to a windows 2003 server.
The NT data was backed up using a 5.1.6 client version to a TSM 5.1.6 server
on AIX 5.1. The Windows2003 server restore was done using a 5.2.0.1 client.
After the restore they saw that the original security permissions on the
directories were not correct. They tell me that the NT server and
Windows2003 server are in the same domain. On some of the directories, the
user/groups were there, but the administrator wasn't, and on others the
administrator was there but the user/group permissions weren't restored.

Are there "issues" restoring across Window versions like this??
