I'm convinced perl is the best way to go.
At the current level of perl that you can download from ActiveState,
perl doesn't require ANY .dlls to be installed!

That means you can install it on ONE machine, and execute it on another via
a network share.

OR, install it and the TSM admin client on your PC and run it there if you
have to!

Hi All,

     Anyone know of a good repository of native win2k cmd scripts for
doing various TSM functions?  I am particularly interested in a script
that checks for full copypool volumes that are inside a library, issues
checkout commands (and does the reply), and updates the tapes' access to
offsite.

     I have written this script in perl on AIX, but the Windows servers I
help out with do not have perl installed, so .cmd files is what I am
looking at for this.

Any code, pointers, tips, reference sites would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
