Re: [Veritas-bu] Changing the NT Domain on clients
Mark, what the bpcd log says about your problem? By the way, netbackup services are installed with system account by default and it is wrong to change them. One exception is the client service, which you can/have to change it in order to backup databases/UNC paths etc. -Original Message- From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of judy_hinchcli...@administaff.com Sent: Thursday, February 04, 2010 10:43 PM To: mark.donald...@staples.com; veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Changing the NT Domain on clients It's the network that is smoking.

Re: [Veritas-bu] NetBackup & Blat
I have several scripts for daily monitoring that either call the installed instance of blat directly or reuse the nbmail.cmd script. 1. A daily status report which details any backups which ended in an error status, any that are still running at the time of the report, any that are still running from the previous day, and any that were expected to run, but have not. 2. A daily report of how many tapes are available in my scratch pool. 3. Status reports for several backup scripts which coordinate to shut down services and databases and perform some cleanup tasks, then fire backups, then monitor for all the relevant backup streams to complete before rebooting servers or restarting services and databases. The status reports tell me when these processes start, when the end of all the streams are detected, and when all of the restarts are completed. I like scripting, so I've likely called this other places I am forgetting. Also, I have scripted batch files for windows for a long time, and consider blat a very normal tool to have in such processes. While an SMTP client is a fairly simple thing, if I need one from a batch file BLAT is my first choice. (CDO form VBScript or PowerShell, and unfortunately I don't write Perl, so I can't say.) If anyone with a copy of Tim Hill's, "Windows NT Shell Scripting," on their shelf is complaining about blat's use, I'd consider the complaint, but outside of that I wouldn't give it much thought. Blat's license affirms that it can be redistributed or even sold. Of course it then confuses this by acknowledging that parts of the source come from other sources, indicating it may be otherwise encumbered. In any event, I'd have the lawyers consider whether it can be redistributed with your product before writing your own SMTP client. Patrick Sweeney (978) 787-4553 patrick.swee...@axcelis.com I.T.
