Did you do the following in this order:
1) Restore the system file protection catalogs (dsmc restore "{SYSTEM
STATE}\windows\system32\catroot\*"
c:\windows\system32\ -sub=yes -rep=all )
2) Restore the C:\ (OS drive with C:\Windows or C:\Winnt), don't reboot.
3) Restore the system state, don't reboot yet.
4) Insert the Windows Install CD.
5) Reboot, making sure to boot of the install CD.
6) Pick option R after F8.
If you did follow those steps then it is unlikely the systemstate restore was
bad but more likely that the systemstate backup was not current. You can run
the "q systemstate" from the backup\archive command line to see the date and
time it was last backed up.
The steps above are detailed more clearly in the following
doc:http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21164812. Of course this
doc doesn't discuss the "In-Place" upgrade because restoring to dissimilar
hardware is not officially support by MS so it therefor can't be support by
Tivoli.

Kyle,
Thanks for the trick : I tried it, and was able to log-in again on the
machine. However, something probably failed during the systemstate
restore, as entire parts of the system configuration where lost ... Not
really funny, but this machine was only a test server, so the damage is
limited. Once again a good lesson for me : practice DR simulations more
often !
Thanks again.
Regards.
Arnaud

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.

Subject: Unsuccessful BMR for win2k3 : OS not registered message ...
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
