Hi Tim,

I have heard references about that, but I don't really know what it is?  Is
there a tool to create a 'custom' Windows 2003 O/S install CD?  Or are
people just hacking up MS's native CD image?  (To be totally honest, I
really don't want to know that deeply how MS does a very complex install...I
just want it to work. :) )

The TSM CD that is created in the field-guide below is just the command-line
TSM backup client and the ASR process prompts for this CD and silently
installs the TSM client from it...so there is no opportunity to put NIC
drivers on it.

I'll read up on BartPE.  I appreciate the info.  :)

Thanks,

Jim,
Make sure the CD you created has the proper NIC driver for the
bladecenter server, and make sure you have DHCP.

We couldn't use the TSM+ASR method because security policy prohibited us
from using DHCP in certain networks, so we're looking into using BartPE
+TSM plugin, which could be another way to go for you.

Tim.
