Doesn't work that way. The password must not have been stored (i.e. the GUI run for the first time).
When defining or resetting the password for a Windoz box, I always tell the client: 1. Stop the scheduler/GUI 2. I reset the password on the TSM server 3. Start the GUI. You will be prompted for the password. Stop and start the GUI again. You should not be prompted for the password, the second time. 4. Start the scheduler service From: ADSM-L <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Date: 04/02/2010 09:51 AM Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] Why need password to create client scheduler? Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[email protected]> That's how PASSWORDACCESS GENERATE works for sure, but I'm not quite sure that's what Roger is asking -the question is why, if you're already using PASSWORDACCESS GENERATE and your password is already presumably stored in the registry, you need to input it again when setting up the scheduler. /David McClelland London On 2 Apr 2010, at 14:03, Rick Adamson <[email protected]> wrote: > In Windows this is so that the password can be stored in the registry, > once stored you do not have to reenter it. when the client is > installed > and configured issue any generic command from the cli, such as "dsmc q > tsm", it will prompt you for the password, enter it and you are set. > Additionally, when the password expires, as defined on the TSM > server it > will be updated on the client. > > ~Rick > JAX FL > > -----Original Message----- > From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[email protected]] On > Behalf Of > Roger Deschner > Sent: Thursday, April 01, 2010 5:16 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [ADSM-L] Why need password to create client scheduler? > > If PASSWORDACCESS GENERATE is in effect and has been initialized with > the node password successfully encrypted and stored, and if you then > go > to create a scheduler, why do you need to give the node password > again? > > This sometimes means, that if the user no longer knows their password, > that we have to change their password for them just so they can > create a > scheduler. > > Is there a way around this?
