352.0. "Recover Registry without reinstalling NT" by LIL04::MATHIEU () Mon Jan 27 1997 07:35

    Hi,
    
    I want to restore a client with his registry but without reinstalling
    NT . 
    
    Exemple :
    
    My server is Controller of Domain with NT 3.51 .
    
    I have another boot NT on another disk with decnsr client installed.
    
    If I scratch my disk with original disk :
    
    1. I boot NT on the other disk 
    2. I restore the partitions of NT 
    3. If I boot on the Nt restored , I have errors because he don't found
    registry Files.
    3. I restore the registry but this registry can't install on the
    original NT . I restore on the second boot .
    
    IS there a solution for restoring registry without reinstalling NT and
    in restoring the old NT ?
    
    Thanks for Help .
    
    Philippe

	What you are trying to do is not supported. You are restoring boot system 1's Registry to boot system 2, not system 1 as you desire. To do what you want, first restore only the disk for boot system 1 while booted under system 2. Then boot system 1. It's likely its Registry will be corrupt, since you've restored it in an unsupported way; however, the system will basically work. Now restore the Registry via the documented means. Mark
