The existence of docs that describe the process of "Complete Restores of
Windows Systems with the TSM Client" implies that such is possible and
probable with W2K8 nodes. One of the Windows admins here has quite a bit
of effort into documenting the specifics required for this process to
work.

So far he has piled up quite a bit of negative evidence.

The most recent set of problems after restore are:

        Windows update is dead.
        Any changes to profiles are lost.
        Error message related to "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\iedkcs32.dll" and
"entry:BrandIEActiveSetup" both occur at login.

(The doc we're working with is:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=663&context=SSGSG7&q1=BMR&u
id=swg21164812&loc=en_US&cs=utf-8%E2%8C%A9=en )

We've used local and domain accounts to perform the backup and restore.

The OS is W2K8 SP2 (64bit)
The client is 5.5.2.0 (64bit)
The TSM server is 5.4.2.0 running on AIX 5200-09 (64bit).

I've searched the redbooks site, the Tivoli Information Center, the
ADSM-L search site, the fastback documentation, the doc on using WinPE
with BMR, etc. So far I'm finding anything that tells how to avoid these
problems with W2K8.

Is anyone on the list seeing success with W2K8 BMR using the TSM client
alone?

Thanks, [RC]
