Re: ISC 6.1 Quirkiness
I have seen some odd things happen on the ISC for 6.1 (not specifically the ones you mention) that change or disappear in a different browser. If you are using IE, try Mozilla; if you are using Mozilla, try IE, or a later version/different platform for Mozilla. Java is evil, IMHO.

Re: ISC 6.1 Quirkiness
Hi Sam, Most of your problems look like they are related. The DEDUP one very much looks like a known problem with FireFox, some of the 3.5.x versions, where it looses check boxes. If you go to the sessions tab, go to the advanced settings tab, and back to the sessions tab you will see that the check boxes are all unchecked. When the OK or APPLY buttons are selected, the commands appropriate to unchecked boxes are issued. Also, if you go in the notebook and mover around between tabs, the 2nd time you go to a tab, the check boxes are unchecked. I was able to reproduce this on FireFox 3.5.3. There also issues with radio group selection that cause the Admin Schedule, STG pool, and STG pool volume problems, and if the last one for Policy domains is Management class backup or archive settings, that one too. Can you give more detail on your Activity Log problem? I didn't see any problem, but I'm not sure what is not working correctly from your statement.

Re: ISC 6.1 Quirkiness
Hello Sam, Have you tried to use something much more simple and useful for TSM administration? For example, TSMExplorer from www.s-iberia.com. Spend a few minutes to downolad and install demo version, try and enjoy easy life. Look also for TSMManager, if you do not like TSMExplorer.
