Question : Problem: Cannot recover computer from .v2i  image

I have a SBS W2K3 server. I used Symantec System Recovery 6.52 to create a .v2i image and clone the image onto a second server - it worked with no problems at all. I need  the cloned server for disaster recovery and therefore did not actrivate W2K3 on the 2nd server when requested.
 When I tried to repeat the process with the same image again (the 3 days for activation W2K3 had passed)  I keep getting a "EBAB0013: A test the safegurards the integrity of the program failed unexpectedly" error message.

The image is not corrupt. I can clone it to a third computer.
I formatted the C: drive of the 2nd server to make sure nothing in the original cloning had caused any problems. i.e. it had left virtual partitions, etc.

I'm stumped and as usual the Symantec website is completely useless!

Any help would be great appreciated.

Thanks

Answer : Problem: Cannot recover computer from .v2i  image

Sometimes cloning works, but if a machine has a different CPU maker (Intel versus AMD), or a different motherboard maker than the one you made the image from, you may end up with this error.  To fix, you can try a repair install of W2k3, which will copy the correct HAL and other files.  More info can be found here on that subject:
