We use the Pasword Generate option so that if you can log onto the box with the appropriate privs to run dsmc or dsm, you can restore without supplying a password. If the restore is from another box, we used an appropriately prived admin id which eliminates the need to know the node password.
David >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 8/20/2004 11:40:30 AM >>> Right now we have about 800 clients and to do a restore, the password is the same for all clients. How are others doing this. We don't want to be in the business of password generation/maintenance to change passwords all the time. We also don't want just anybody being able to do a restore on any box because the passwords are the same everywhere. We are probably going to get hammered by auditors before long about having the same password. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
