I'm in the process of migrating a bunch of TSM servers from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008 (x64) and thought I'd share one of the gotchas I came across.
When attempting to refresh an operational report from the TSM management console, the console went through the motions of apparently generating the report, but never produced the output. It turned out the TSMREPT.EXE process that should have been spawned wasn't being. The solution was to change the compatibility setting for the file TSMREPT.EXE in the console directory to enable "Run this program as an administrator". Without this, attempting to run the utility from a command prompt gave the error "A referral was returned from the server". Interestingly, the TSMVER.EXE command gave the same error and required the same change whereas the TSMDLST.EXE command worked fine.
