I have installed a predefined dsm.opt file, when installing TSM 4.1.2 on
Windows 2000 that has not had the client previously installed.  Placed
dsm.opt in the ..\config directory and ran setup.

If you are using W2K Group Policy to install the client (again on a "clean"
server), I have found that it does not use the custom dsm.opt file.  Ditto
if you just run "Tivoli Storage Manager Client.msi".

How were you installing the client?
