This is the exact batch we run and it works very well.  Use at your own risk 
and make sure the windows directory in line 5 is correct.

attrib c:\boot.ini -r -h -s
copy c:\boot.ini c:\bootcopy.ini
attrib c:\boot.ini +r +h +s
cd /d c:\program files\tivoli\tsm\baclient
dsmc restore "{SYSTEM OBJECT}winnt\system32\catroot\*" %windir%\system32\ 
-sub=yes -rep=all
dsmc restore %systemdrive%\* -sub=yes -rep=all
dsmc restore systemobject

fc /c /l c:\boot.ini c:\bootcopy.ini

Subject: [ADSM-L] Windows 2000 server restore

 I am trying the procedure below and get as far as trying to copy
 the files back to c:\winnt\system32 on a Windows 2000 server using
 the MS Recovery Console and get access denied.

 When I restore the server via TSM am I supposed to not restore
 the file rights.

In my mind, the MS Recovery Console is the key to achieving successful
restores back to dissimilar h/w in the Wintel area. After installing
your vanilla MS OS (that is to be restored over), you need to take a
copy of the OS files that are specific to your h/w. Then, if they are
overwritten with different versions by your restore, you can put them
back with the RC upon reboot.

These files can be found in Device Manager--> Computer and then under
the driver details of the Properties of your processor(s).

For Windows2000, they are as follows
c:\winnt\system32\hal.dll
c:\winnt\system32\kernel32.dll
c:\winnt\system32\ntdll.dll
c:\winnt\system32\ntkrnlpa.exe
c:\winnt\system32\ntoskrnl.exe
c:\winnt\system32\win32k.sys
c:\winnt\system32\winsrv.dll

For Windows2003, they are as follows
c:\windows\system32\hal.dll
c:\winnt\system32\ntkrnlpa.exe
c:\winnt\system32\ntoskrnl.exe

If after you complete the restore of your system drive and you reboot
and get a blue screen or worse, all is not lost. The Microsoft Recovery
Console is an extremely useful tool. From the RC, you can copy the above
original files from a floppy or the root of the system drive to the
system32 directory. Also, the RC will enable you to disable devices or
services on boot.

One important point to note, the RC requires the LOCAL administrator
password to be entered before it can be used, therefore ensure that you
know the local passwords to all your machines.
