That's fine as long as the client releases are relatively recent. Somewhere in the client history, TSM changed how it uses the registry, and you can get some very mysterious failures. Mysterious failures also happen when a Windows client is upgraded without first removing the services. The services registry key has to be manually corrected before the "multiple schedulers may be active" warnings will stop. - Margaret -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ads...@vm.marist.edu] On Behalf Of Thomas Denier Sent: Tuesday, March 16, 2010 1:18 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] Changing attributes -----Margaret Clark wrote: ----- >Fixing the dsm.opt may not be enough.

Windows adminsitrators at our site occasionally rename existing Windows systems. We almost never specify node names in dsm.opt files for Windows client; we let the client use the machine name as the node name. When a Windows client is renamed the client scheduler service continues to use the old node name, presumably because the node name was recorded in the registry when the service was created. We have always been able to clean this up by removing and recreating the service. We did not need to deinstall the client software or manually remove registry keys.
