Sounds like quite a few people are having problems
pushing/installing/upgrading/patching clients that are the other side of the
NT/Unix divide from their master.
I for one would definitely like to see some better functionality (and
documentation!)
Netbackup is supposed to be a cross-platform backup product, it does the
backups pretty well, but the admin can be tricky - you almost need a NT
master for NT clients and a Unix master for Unix clients - hardly cross
platform, in my humble opinion.
Bob, what is the best way to request enhancements?

Hi Bob,
I'm new to this mailing list, so I hope I'm not out of order emailing you
directly, but I'm in a similar situation to Jason. I have successfully
pushed out the clients, (i.e. selected them all for install) but now I'm
trying to push out the patch and having difficulty establishing how. Any
tips would be greatly appreciated.
Ian.

If your logged in as Domain Admin you will have the proper rights to push
out the clients from one NT box. If you are using a local admin account it
won't work.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Upgrading Windows NT clients
Using NetBackup 3.4.1DC, I have a Solaris Master and Media server. I am in
the process of setting up a Windows Admin station for configuration of
Windows clients. I am trying to figure out how to apply patch 645 to Windows
clients running 3.4 (unpatched).
To upgrade the Unix clients, all I had to do was run the update_clients
command. Is there something similar in NT? With the patch itself, I have
tried using the 'Apply to other system' option, but it always fails. I have
almost 70 clients to patch, and would prefer not to have to log onto them
all individually.
Thanks
Jason
