Also, by using the "prompted" method, you give up (ie, lose) the benefit of
schedule randomization. I recommend you use polling method, and make the
backup window large enough to "catch" the most of your users.
(Else, have you tried using DNS name for the parameter? The book says it
"should" work!!! That would really solve it, for the "server prompted"
scenario.)
----------------- excerpt from Windows - Using The Backup-Archive CLient
------------
Tcpclientaddress
The tcpclientaddress option specifies a TCP/IP address if your client
node has more than one address, and you want the server to contact
an address other than the one that was used to make the first server
contact.
Use this option only if you use the prompted parameter with the
schedmode option, or when the schedule command is running.
Syntax
TCPCLIENTAddress client_address
Parameters
client_address
Specifies the TCP/IP address you want the server to use to
contact your client node. Specify a TCP/IP Internet domain name
or a dot address.

We use PROMPTED mode and I am not sure how the server will contact the
clients if the IP address changes. I have tested it by simply changing my
machine's IP address and unless I stop and start the services, the backup
does not kickoff.

Most of our 400+ desktop machines are DHCP, most back up via the scheduler.
We've never had a problem with DHCP and TSM coexisting.
We use POLLING mode by default, just as a precaution.
TSM never has to "remember" a client's TCP/IP address that way.

Hello all,
Does anyone use TSM and DHCP in the same environment. Are there any issues/
problems with this setup?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Arthur
