Yes, you are correct. Those default ids all have "client owner" privilege to the machine of the same name, and are only needed if you want to run the web client instead of the usual Windows GUI to do restores. We delete them (in cases where we forget NOT to create them in the first place).
-----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Curtis Stewart Sent: Thursday, December 16, 2004 12:09 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Node User ID Question As part of our SOX compliance work, we are currently reviewing all user accounts, password policies, etc.... Historically, when TSM nodes were created here, everybody just went ahead and created a userID as well. These don't appear to get used. I assume it's so a user can log into TSM with access to a specific node data from another client, or the web client for that matter. What are the pros and cons of leaving v.s. deleting these administrative accounts associated with the TSM nodes? If there's no compelling reason to keep them, then I'll just remove them and make my SOX stuff that much easier. Thanks in advance. Curtis
