                Subject:        Re: Unable to Restore NT Registry Key - FYI

                All,

                I have found my problem!

                I am doing a fresh silent install of NT.  As many of you NT
hacks knows
                this generates a new machine SID.  Then when I auto-login as
administrator,
                I generate a new user SID based on my machine SID.  So when
I tried to
                restore the user registry file, the restore failed due to
the fact that
                my original SID doesn't match my new SID.

                I am now working on a script that will parse my old SID out
of the
                backed up registry file and insert it into my new registry.
After that
                is done my scripted, silent bare-metal restore will overlay
my original
                registry.

                The end result of what I am doing will be a fully unattended
bare-metal
                restore of Windows NT.

                When ADSM Backs up the registry it  leaves a copy of it on
the HD under
                C:\adsm.sys

                 Copy x:\adsm.sys\registry\<computername>\Machine\*.*
                C:\winnt\system32\config\   ENTER

                and then
                 Copy x:\adsm.sys\registry\<computername>\Users\*.*
                C:\winnt\system32\config\   ENTER
                x = the original C: drive.
                this will work fine if you can boot from a temporary drive.
                I take it you are trying to test a restore of the NT system
drive???
