Ghost W2K Server from SCSI to EDI

[MFuhge]

Hi,

I need to ghost a Server on a raid 5 System and need to restore to an EDI system in worst case. Anyone have experience in this? Tried with another server but it won't work. I even can't start sysprep because of bluescreen.
Is here a cmd version of sysprep or someobody got a better idea?

I very much doubt you'll be able to. Sysprep doesn't run on domain controllers by the way.

I meant IDE btw

Oooo, this one will be very tough. In Ghosting (or any kind of restore for that matter) Win2K, the re-install process expects the new machine to have the same HAL (hardware) layer as the source machine. Since you're going from a SCSI RAID controller to IDE, I don't see how this will work. The *best* you could do, IMO, is use the Backup applet in Win2K to backup up your entire RAID array / Logical Disks to your IDE drive(s). Then should you need to restore, you can reinstall Win2K on the old / repaired server and run the Restore from the Backup you made earlier.

HTH,
