Larry, missed your previous question but fyi, there's a free 1-2 hour webinar on Operational Reporting on July 21, you just need to register for it:
Web 130- IBM Tivoli Storage Manager 5.2 and 5.3 Fundamentals: Operational Reporting - July 21 11AM ET Program. http://www.cgselearning.com/tivoliskills/ And yes, I find the reports very helpful, I'm using the same version as you, and you need an admin id on any tsm server you want to report on. I'll forward you a copy of our daily reports so you can check it out. >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 06/20/05 1:25 PM >>> I'm thinking from the lackl of response to my previous question, that few people actually use TSM Operation reporting. Do people find it not useful or has something replaced it (mine says Driver 7) I used the net & web detect feature and it discovered a number of pc/servers that are TSM clients. but I cannot access those and am not sure what permissions the Windows admin need to add for my account to access the config files and info on those machines. What do I need? My account added on those servers....admin access?
