If ASR doesn't work you can try the "In-Place" ugprade using option "R" after 
you press F8 to agree to the license agreement. We've had discussions about 
"In-Place" upgrade on this list before. You can search those or MS's 
knowledgebase.
 
Basically, you take a Windows 2003 server installation CD and boot from it just 
like you were going to install the OS again right over top of your restore. You 
can use F6 to install the device drivers.  Take all the normal options. After 
you press F8 to agree to the license agreement you will get a screen that you 
don't get on a new install. It will say "We see that Windows is already 
installed on this server in c:\windows" or something like that. At the bottom 
of that screen it will ask you if you want to repair it and if so press "R". Do 
this and you will perform an install that re-enumerates all the hardware 
leaving the software intact. Bascially a reinstall of the hardware part of the 
registry.  It is key to be sure you have a CD that has the service pack (if 
any) you are using slipstreamed into it. However, being that you said you don' 
t have an SP on this server you can use the regular base OS installation CD.

Henrick,

Thanks for you suggestion, but it doesn't apply to this particular case
: no Trend antivirus on this server, and anyway I would not be in a
position connecting from another machine as the network interface seems
not to be started on the server (even ping fails ...)
Thanks anyway !
Cheers

Hi,

No explanationa but maybe a work around...

I have seen this on a couple of w2k3 servers with Trend Antivirus.
Stopping Trend usually works, if not disabling Trend and reboot the did
the trick.
Use services.msc from another computer and connect to the recovered
server.

Hi all,

Due to some raid driver corruption on one of our clients (Win2k3 server
edition, no SP, TSM client 5.2.4) we've tried to do a BMR of the
machine, using the ASR diskette. 
Restore seemed to be OK, but when the machine came up again and we tried
to log-in, we got a message telling us that the OS was not registered. 
Problem is that whatever option we choose in the dialog box (accept,
discard or cancel), we get the login prompt again and nothing more
happens ...
Does anybody have an explanation / solution for this problem ?
Thanks in advance !
Cheers.

Arnaud
