Check step 2.  If the server was built and joined to the domain with its 
original name the server will create a new password when it joins the domain.  
Later when the system is restored it will try to use the old password and be 
denied.
Our solution is to not join the domain, therefore not resetting the password.

Subject: [ADSM-L] Problems joining domain after bare metal restore

Client version 6.1.3.0
Windows 2003 sp2 64 bit.
Client is an exchange 2007 server.

We were practicing a bare metal restore last week, and this is what the 
exchange admin told me happened.

1. pull working hd and replace with unformatted hd to simulate total hd failure.
2. install windows 2003 64 bit.
3. install tsm client
4. run client and do complete file restore.
5. restore systemstate.
6. restart machine.
7. start exchange, get complaint about not being in the domain.

To cure this.

8. remove yourself from the domain.
9. rejoin domain.

What would cause the need for steps 8 and 9?  I would assume that after a 
complet file and systemstate restore, things would be as they were at last 
backup; (when machine was working and part of the domain).

Thanks for any help.
