We are attempting to do a baremetal restore of an NT client to identical
hardware (in fact the same box) without using an additional maintenance
partition. We load the OS, ADSM, and restore all the files to the machine
fine, including the ADSM.SYS directory. But when we use 'Restore Registry', it
says it cannot find the registry information for that machine.   ADSM is
capable of doing the registry restore when it thinks it is the same machine,
so it seems like there must be some sort of precautionary measure preventing
this from happening. How can we fool Registry Restore into thinking the new
server is the old server, so we can recover the registry?
