BartPE v3.19 is just released. (12 Jan. 06). I use BartPE mainly as a recov­ery CD for TSM. I cre­ated a BartPE Plu­gin for the TSM Client. The main thing you had to know is, that you need a JRE and a Ram Disk, which the TSM Client need’s to cre­ate a Log File. I also added a small Java Fron­tend, so you can enter the TSM Server each time you boot the CD.

You can down­load the Plu­gin HERE.

When you down­load the Plu­gin, you can see that when you start the TSM Client, it copies itself to the Ram Disk and then the Client will start.

At the moment the Plu­gin uses TSM Client v5.3.015 but ill update the Client soon.

Some basic infor­ma­tion about BartPE. You need a Win­dows Source (w2003 or XP, I pre­fer XP because the Hard­ware sup­port is bet­ter) and BartPE will cre­ate a bootable ISO image for you, you can use as recov­ery CD. You can add all sorts of Plu­g­ins, Soft­ware Plu­g­ins (like my TSM Client) or a Hard­ware Plu­gin (for Exam­ple sup­port for the IBM ServRaid RAID adapter). There is also a Plu­gin which mod­i­fies the BartPE that it looks like a reg­u­lar Win­dows XP Desk­top and it sup­ports even the MMC (XPEStuff).

There is a sup­port forum: The CD Forum which can help you.
