Hi Gary, Somewhere along the line did you do a dcpromo before doing the restore?
I recommend reviewing TSM technote 1164812 if you have not done so already. This technote provides detailed instructions for doing this kind of restore. The technote can be found here: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21164812 There is a note in the preparation steps that says: "If you are recovering a domain controller, do not promote the base operating system to a domain controller prior to running the restore." There is also this tidbit of info in the "Additional Information" portion of the document: "When performing a complete system recovery, do not promote your newly installed base OS to a domain controller prior to performing the restore. The system should automatically become a functioning domain controller as a result of the restore. " Best regards, Andy Andy Raibeck IBM Software Group Tivoli Storage Manager Client Product Development Level 3 Team Lead Internal Notes e-mail: Andrew Raibeck/Hartford/i...@ibmus Internet e-mail: [email protected] IBM Tivoli Storage Manager support web page: http://www.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/Overview/Software/Tivoli/Tivoli_Storage_Manager The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked. The command line is your friend. "Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
