Start your Windows 2000/2003 Server in AD repair mode (F8)
Logon as local admin.
Start the TSM Client and restore the system object again.
When the restore if finish.
Reboot your server and the machine is up and runing.
 
But you can do your BMR solution much faster with a 3rd part BMR tool.<


Third-party BMR tools (trying to sneak that advertisement in, aren't cha? ;oP) 
aren't really necessary for AD (or domain controller) restores. What *is* 
necessary is a thorough understanding of how AD works, and how to recover it.

Microsoft's web site is chock-full of white papers on DR processes for AD 
databases. There are also ways to configure the TSM client to facilitate Win2K 
(and Win2k3) dissimilar hardware restores.
