Are you using PASSWORDACCESS GENERATE? If so, why do you think the
password is not being reset?
You can test this with a Windows client:
1) From the client machine, open an OS prompt and change into the
directory where the TSM client executables reside, i.e. C:\Program
Files\Tivoli\TSM\baclient.
2) Issue this command:
dsmcutil showpw /node:yournodename
(where 'yournodename' is the client node name).
Make a note of the password.
3) From an Admin command, update the client node with the FORCEPWRESET=YES
option.
4) From the client OS prompt, issue these commands:
dsmc q se
dsmcutil showpw /node:yournodename
Is the password different from that shown in step 2 above?

Subject: Force Password Reset
What I am trying to do is force certain clients to change its password
every
60 days or so. I can't seem to force the client to change its password. I
issue the command "upd node client forcepwreset=yes" expecting it to force
the client to change its password the next time it logs into TSM. It
doesn't seem to force me to do anything. When I log in, I get no prompts
to
change my password. What am I doing wrong? I am feeling sort of stupid
right now :)
