Hello everyone.  I have an interesting scenario to ask you about.  We have
the TSM Client v5.2.1 or v5.2.2 installed on over 700 Windows servers
including versions 4.0, 2000 and recently 2003.  The TSM host runs on AIX
v5.1 and TSM server v5.1.7.3.  It also happens on another of our TSM severs
running v5.1.9.0.  We have noticed that all of the W2003 servers give us
this similar log:

***********************************************************

Notice that it fails as exactly as many objects as it inpects, but transfers
a lot of data.  And we can restore anything.  As far as we can tell, the
data is there and the TSM server's filespace jives against what we see on
the clients.  Does anyone have any idea what is going on? We don't see that
many failures in the log at all - most of it are successful [sent]'s.


With regards,
