Not so strange considering how TSM client makes a registrykey like this (under which the password is stored); HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IBM\ADSM\CurrentVersion\BackupClient\Nodes\MYNOD E\TSMSRV001 where the last is the name of the TSM server (TSM servername). Updating alot of clients can be done through renaming the registrykey with some utility delivered in NT resourcekit. (Can't remember the name of it though) :-( Rgds. Geirr G. Halvorsen

February 2003 02:26 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: set servername Hi All, Can any damage be caused by changing this value? In other words, could it make a client unable to restore older versions of files? I have situtaion under solaris 2.9, TSM 5.1.5.0, where I can see the inactive versions in the DB via show version, but the client only shows a really old version, and active. I changed the server name on 2/3. Obviously, I am grapsing at straws here....but in writing this up, I wonder if /home/staff/tks/lps moved from /home to / in the mean time.... Any thought would be greatly appreciated.
