Hi,
I have experienced this exact problem and I am unable to find any answers. I am running 3 production servers with 3 identical D/R (disaster recovery) servers.
Originally, I was able to perform full system restores of the Windows 2000 servers using BEWS 9.1 onto the identical D/R servers. However, I am now unable to do so, either with W2K servers upgraded to 2003, or with fresh Windows 2003 servers. All attempts give the same error as reported by Steve Yau. It does not matter if the server is a standard Windows 2003 server or if it is the Domain Controller.
I have followed tech note 276524 which states that all BEWS 9.1 installations should be upgraded to SP4 before. I have applied SP4 both to the production server and to the D/R server. Same result.
I have also followed tech note 236240 to the letter. Same result.
In my case, all servers are HP/Compaq ML350.
I have to agree with Steve that if this cannot be resolved, then what is the point of BEWS 9.1 with Windows 2003? It's OK if all you want to do is recover basic data, but if you want to recover an entire server, it does not work!
This is really important for me and I really need an answer to this as I have been unable to solve this problem for several months.
