With the older versions of the TSM NT client the scheduler was dependent
on passwordaccess generate. But with the new Wizard's there is an
option to install the scheduling service and supply a password just for
the scheduler. Not sure if that adds the passwordaccess entry into the
options file, I would run through the wizard and try only supplying a
password for the scheduler and not for the regular backup-archive
client.

Subject: passwordaccess -- does it affect scheduled ops?
I wanted to limit the number of people who can fire up the TSM GUI on
some
NT boxes and start restoring files. I thought the best way to do this
was
to set the passwordaccess option to 'prompt', and then give the password
to
only a select few. My only concern is that this may affect scheduled
operations somehow. We're using TSM 4.2, and during the client
installs,
we had problems starting up the scheduler as an NT service. This was
"solved" by setting up the scheduler again -- but not changing any
settings. So, it's kind of finicky. Anyway, some of these servers with
the TSM client in 'prompt' mode have been rebooted, and still seem to be
backing up fine on their schedules.
So, my question is, does the passwordaccess option affect scheduled
operations at all, or does it just control how one is authenticated when
using the GUI.
many thanks,
adam
