Jim, Have a look at the following link. It's from a presentation given at last years TSM Symposium.

Is there a tool to create a 'custom' Windows 2003 O/S install CD? Or are people just hacking up MS's native CD image? (To be totally honest, I really don't want to know that deeply how MS does a very complex install...I just want it to work. :) ) The TSM CD that is created in the field-guide below is just the command-line TSM backup client and the ASR process prompts for this CD and silently installs the TSM client from it...so there is no opportunity to put NIC drivers on it. http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27003812 I'll read up on BartPE. I appreciate the info. :) Thanks, -Jim Hatfield IT Administrator Kings Daughters Medical Center [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Timothy Lin To: [email protected] Sent: 6/16/06 11:31 AM Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] TSM-ASR and BladeCenter Jim, Make sure the CD you created has the proper NIC driver for the bladecenter server, and make sure you have DHCP. We couldn't use the TSM+ASR method because security policy prohibited us from using DHCP in certain networks, so we're looking into using BartPE +TSM plugin, which could be another way to go for you.
