I need to temporarily modify the registry of my Windows 2000 Advanced Server so that Backup Exec will think it is a Windows 2000 Server. After installing Backup Exec, I'll need to change the registry back. I need the specific key(s) that need(s) changing with the correct syntax. Thanks!

Try using APCOMPAT.EXE - The Applicaton Compatibility program, which can help fool applications into thinking that they are installing or running on Windows NT 4 SP3, NT 4 SP4, NT 4 SP5, Windows 98, or Windows 95. It is located in the Windows 2000 Server CD --- X:\SUPPORT\APCOMPAT.EXE
