Hi Andrew,
In step 5, we're directed to copy the bootmgr to the hidden parition. Do I
get the volid for the hidden partition from MOUNTVOL? It doesn't appear
that we have a hidden partition. (We're using MBR instead of GPT, in case
that matters.)
The specific step is:
copy C:\Windows\BOOT\PCAT\bootmgr
\\?\Volume{8d587603-54e6-11df-803c-0014a4db5a82}\
We're not having any boot problems, so maybe this step is no longer
required?
Reading notes on how to avoid this hidden partition wtih Windows 7, it
appears that it was only 100MB in the RTM release, and has changed to
200MB more recently.
We still have at least one roadblock to fix:
After the "dsmc restore systemstate" and "dsmc restore \\machine_name\c$\*
c:\ -subdir=yes -repl=yes" steps, it appears we have a more or less
successful restore.
But we're only getting one successful restore as Administrator. After the
first logout, the second login is locked out with "Group Policy Client
service failed the logon Access is Denied".
Even with system state and the contents of C:\ restored, it appears the
result varies from the original system we backed up.
One more item: The ASR you mention below, is different from the ASR
referenced in by the client during the restore? The ASR mentioned by the
client is for Windows 2000 systems? ASR in this context (Windows 2008) is
system state plus some partition related magic?
Thanks,
[RC]

Hi Robert,
You should be able to use the procedure outlined in the 6.2.2 manual.
Important note: WinPE 3.0 has issues that can cause the ASR part of the
restore to fail. Therefore make sure you use WinPE 3.1, which consists of
installing the AIK for Windows 7 (WinPE 3.0), then applying the
"supplemental" package for Windows 7 and Windows 2008 R2 SP1 (which brings
the WinPE version to 3.1).
WinPE 3.0:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=696DD665-9F76-4177-A811-39C26D3B3B34
Supplemental package that brings WinPE to 3.1 (must be installed on top of
WinPE 3.0 using the XCOPY command described in the link):
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=0AEE2B4B-494B-4ADC-B174-33BC62F02C5D
We are currently evaluating the best way to update the documentation for
ASR restores on NT 6 OSes, but the version in the client manual for now is
the procedure.
After booting the WinPE media, you don't need to do anything prior to the
restore. ASR handles the partitioning of your disks for you.
And yes, there can be multiple versions of the system state available for
restore.
Important note: The ASR restore method is supported only with BIOS-based
systems. If you have a physical system with EFI, it won't work.
