Hi Mark,
Don't forget that you also need to have a unique FLOPPY involved for each 
server. How many wants to manage x hundreds of floppies?

Mark, how can you make dissimilar hardware with your PE CD?
When you restore the full OS image/backup to your new hardware. How do you 
change the registry and adding the new drivers? Are you boot up the Windows CD 
again and then let it repair your server?

Do you know how much changes it does with your Windows Server? Have you let 
Security division look at your machine after that?

Thanks
Christian

Keep in mind also that ASR requires a DHCP server be available on the
segment you're working on. Most server room admins are allergic to DHCP
servers in their server environment (for security reasons).

No DHCP? No ASR. (Why? Ask Microsoft.)
