Re: EXCLUDE / Client Opt and 2K3

Some of my co-workers think I'm nuts because everyday, the first thing I do in the morning, is open my email program and start to read all the postings from this list that occurred while I was out of the office. Sometimes it takes me 1/2 hour to get through all of them. And then all day long whenever I am at my desk as more postings pop up, I always try to keep up with them. I'll admit I don't always grasp the whole content of each listing, and in fact many of the listings I don't even understand. Do I read them anyway? You bit I do. Unlike many others around me, I know I don't know everything, I only know what I know :~) And so this morning, just like every other day, I had either read or glanced through all the postings, not even realizing how my mind was storing little tidbits away. Then, around an hour ago, I got a call from the administrator of several of my TSM clients. He was requ esting an new node, .... my first Win2003 TSM Client! I could have gone to a class or read all the latest TECH magazines, and still would not have learned all the valuable information I have learned from this one thread, in just 1 DAY! And since my TSM Server (MVS OS/390 2.10) recently upgraded from V4.2.2 directly to V5.1.7.0 without a hitch (thanks again, to this list!!), I would have been pulling my hair out over those duplicate option messages! I remember having had to deal with those same messages back in a V3 version when adding CLOPTSET's for the first time! And I was able to give a clear explaination to the client, on exactly how the TSM backup would work for his particular Win2003 client. And so even though I know others have done so before:

Gentlemen,
Thank you! I don't think you realize how valuable a source you are to so many of us TSMers who silently, on a daily basis, benefit from your postings to this list.

And,
Thank you! To the many others whom, on a regular basis, contribute to this list!

And,
Thank you! To those whom have helped off the list (you know who you are :~))
