I believe someone posted to the list a long time ago that an external/portable 
USB-connected floppy will work.
But I haven't personally done it.

With ASR is there a work around for a client that does not have a floopy disk 
drive?

For XP and 2003, see the TSM Client Manual for Windows instructions for ASR 
(Automated System Recovery).
It's a MIcrosoft thing which TSM supports.
Works, if you follow the instructions exactly.

Due to the lack of recent religious wars on this forum, I'm forced to
ask:

What is the best method to back-up and perform a reliable and successful Bare 
Metal Restore of a WinTel platform (Windows NT/Server
2000/2003/XP/etc.) using a TSM AIX server?  Methods requiring a third party 
solution are acceptable.  Solutions allowing a BMR to dis-similar hardware are 
preferable.

Personally I view the need to do a BMR on a WinTel platform as an opportunity 
to bring up another AIX server, but that is yet another religious war.

Thanks,
Milton
