OT but on topic. Acronis restore to new hardware woes

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

An account has Acronis True Image Echo Server with Acronis Universal
Restore (full version). I tried to do a restore of the C: partition to
a modern workstation with marginal luck. It did not have a driver for
the nic. Server would start to boot and do a 7b blue screen.
Production server is running an Intel Motherboard with an Intel Raid
controller. Test restore server is actually an Intel workstation. I
had to run Server 2003 repair to get it to boot. Loaded the nic
driver.

I restored the other partitions. I added another nic. I got SQL,
Oracle and ISA 2004 to work. But going to the Internet does not work
because I have some user authentication problem. When I do \\samcsbs I
see about 20 shares. When I click on any of the shares it asks for a
user name and password. Of course this indicates a lot of problems. I
cannot process the AD Group Policies because of the shares
permissions. So I get 1030 and 1058 errors. RSOP.MSC tosses errors
because it cannot get in to the sysvol folder. Security and share
permissions look correct.

I changed the server nic ip using the wizard. I checked the binding
order of the nics. I disabled file and print sharing from the external
nic. Running the Connect to the Internet wizard ran successfully.

Any guesses?

Note that this is a test. Not mission critical but a practice in
disaster recovery. The image restores went pretty fast. A lot faster
than Directory Services restore.
