I am not sure of your use of the word domain. Windows domains are not relevant because TSM does need a Windows account to work. We have two domains, no problem. DNS domains are only troublesome if the TSM server is unable to resolve the nodes IP address due to a DNS lookup problem. We have 2 internal domains and sometimes one fails to forward the request to the other. I have not heard a network guy refer to a VLAN, Subnet, DMZ or segment as a domain. Perhaps I need to get out more. We have a segment of our network that is firewalled, but the firewalls allow our TSM ports to pass so there is not an issue backing up the servers. Our DMZs are much tighter and the TSM server is not allowed to pass, so the nodes are set to polling and they contact the TSM server to get their schedule. TSM has its own domains, and as suggested, it might be a good idea to have each of the groups in a separate domain.

All 3 Domains will somehow, have access to central services like internet, accounting applications, etc. We intend to retain the one TSM Server that we have. If the TSM Server is say in Domain A, is it possible to backup clients in domains B and C ? Are there any drawbacks ? TSM Server Windows V5.4.2.0 Many Thanks Bill View your Twitter and Flickr updates from one place - Learn more! _________________________________________________________________ Get the best of MSN on your mobile http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/147991039/direct/01/ This e-mail (including any attachments) is confidential and may be legally privileged.
