>From the Windows Client 5.1.5.7 README.1ST:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 - Installing a predefined (custom) DSM.OPT file:

    - Users who would like to install a predefined DSM.OPT file should
place a
      copy of the DSM.OPT file in the ...\CONFIG directory located within
the
      install image:

      - i.e. tsm_images\TSM_BA_Client\baclient\Program
Files\Tivoli\TSM\config.

        The file must be named DSM.OPT.

    - The install program will copy the predefined DSM.OPT file to the
      ..\BACLIENT directory when BOTH of the following conditions are met:

      - DSM.OPT does NOT exist in the ..\BACLIENT directory. The install
program
        will not copy over an existing DSM.OPT file.

      - DSM.OPT exists in the install image's ..\CONFIG directory, as
described
        above.

        Subject:        Automating the client install on a PC?


Hello,
   I am trying to get the installation of TSM 5.1.5.2 to be totally
automated.  THe silent install seems to be O.K. at putting all the files
on
the PC.  However, we are still trying to get to a point where a person
does
not have to visit each PC to run through the CONFIGURATION process.   Can
this be done?  Is anyone doing it? How?
    Second question:
 If we have TSM client 5.1.0 on a PC and we want to upgrade it to 5.1.5.2
without having to visit the PC.  If we do the uninstall and then the
silent
install we are left with the above problem.  Can we just install 5.1.5.2
over the top of 5.1.0 to keep the configuration information?
Matt
