Hi  Julie,

If Administrator is logged onto the NT box, you won't be able to save his
profile and his registry in the fly.

NTUSER.DAT and some other  files are LOCKED by NT (not opened, locked)
and ADSM can not save them on the fly (Backup/exec, Arcserve can, but
...).

use BACKUPREGISTRY=YES in your dsm.opt file and/or the regback/regrest
commands in dsmc.

It is the same for WINS and DHCP databases. Either you close the NT
service
before saving the DBs and restart it after, of you rely on the
"NT-automatic-12-hours-saved-version" of the databases in
%systemroot%/system32/wins/win.bak

Subject: File retries in DSMSCHED.LOG

We've set changingretries  to 0.   I was wondering what else causes
retries
when there are no obvious explanations in the DSMSCHED.LOG.

 We see this sort of thing, for instance:
Normal File-->  4,662 \\ns600f\c$\WINNT\notes.ini [Sent]
Normal File-->  307,200
\\ns600f\c$\WINNT\Profiles\Administrator\NTUSER.DAT
**unsuccessful Retry # 1  Normal File--> 117,634
\\ns600f\c$\COMPAQ\SURVEY\Survey.TXT [Sent]
Retry # 1  Normal File--> 491,940
\\ns600f\c$\ProgramFiles\pcANYWHERE\DATA\AW.HCF [Sent]      Retry # 1
Normal File--> 45,844 \\ns600f\c$\Program Files\Pwrchute\pwrchute.dat
[Sent]

They seem to appear after unsuccessful attempts on other files.
Thanks for any insight!
Julie
