Still having problems with TSM and Windows XP clients.. To rehash:
My organization is planning a rollout of Windows XP for the desktop. The users are currently using Windows 95/98 and can backup/restore their own files. With the rollout of XP, management is planning to restrict some of the user's current capabilities but, nonetheless, want the users to continue to have the ability to backup and restore. In the laboratory, I have been able to install the central scheduling service and can backup/restore all files as an administrator. When I'm logged in as a power user, it's a different story - I am only able to backup/restore such System Objects as thr Registry, COM+ DB, Event Log, Registry, System Files and WMI. It would appear to be a rights issue. I followed the procedure put forth in the Tivoli document, "TSM for Windows, BA Clients Installation & Users Guide": Considerations for NT, 2000, and XP Client Services (pp 25-26) "The account must also have the following permissions to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, HKEY_KEY_USERS, and HKEY_CURRENT_USER registry hives: Query Value Set Value Create Subkey Enumerate Subkeys" I put this question to Tivoli Support who suggested that Windows XP has a Unix-like SU capability that could be invoked but this isn't even a workaround , let alone a solution. The idea of using the user name as a nodename option in the dsm.opt file has been discussed but is highly impractical because some 1500+ users have a user name in this format: John[space}Smith. TSM doesn't like the [space] in a node name. Again, any ideas is much appreciated. ______________________________________________________________________ Post your ad for free now! http://personals.yahoo.ca
