We've done the same in our Win2K environment as well, to both similar
and dissimilar hardware actually.  More work involved with dissimilar
but we've done it.

Well I disagree on your statement "  Networker definitely does *not*
back up the whole machine " because we have restored machines
from bare metal (1st install a base OS, then Networker client), then did
a recover all and our servers all run fine..

Hi all,

I found the solution. If I want to restore a SMP system, I have to
install a SMP Windows 2000, even if the target machine has only
one CPU. I think Networker missed a few details when it backed up the
original machine; I have no other explanation.

And Networker definitely does *not* back up the whole machine, I can
prove that. For whatever reason wordpad.exe is missing after
the succesful restore (I did not install "accessories" on the target
machine, I thought restoring
C: + SYSTEM things would include everything).

At least my Active Directory is up and running. Next step will be the
restore of our Exchange server. I am really curious if
Networker forgets some details there...

Olaf
