Following Andy's advice:
(Using the 6.2.3.1 client.)
Have "Snapshotproviderfs VSS" in the "dsm.opt" on the client during the
backup.
Update to "WinPE 3.1".
We were able to restore W2K8R2.
We did have a problem with Windows and/or the backup client and/or the
restore process not handling a system that was not in the domain before
the backup and restore. But this was an edge case, and not one we needed
to dig to the bottom of for the common restore case.
(The problem manifested as Administrator only succeeding at logging in one
time, and being denied by a system profile for login 2 on.)
Even for this edge case, I found a work around; moving some of the profile
files associated with Administrator during the first login after the
restore/reboot.
Thanks,

Hi,
We found out the issue. You need to enable Microsoft VSS and make sure you
backup all open files, espacially usrclass.* and ntuser.* to make sure you
have all Network and Default user settings.

Hi Everyone,
I have been playing around with ASR restore on Windows Server 2008 R2.
But after a restore did the Microsoft License Key expired and when we try
to insert a new (same) it didn't accept it and we can't activate Windows
after a DR.
Have anyone else played around with ASR and get it to work?
TSM Client: 6.2.3.1 (Windows Server 2008 R2)
TSM Server: 6.2.3.0 (Windows Server 2008 R2)
