Actually, you can "push" out an install on NT.  Run the NT client setup and
choose the option to do remotely.  You can select multiple targets and it will
push it out to all of them.

For the Exclude, the NetBackup NT admin console does this great from the GUI.
Or use a for loop and the reg.exe utility from the NT resource kit.  It will
let you edit the registry remotely.  Either way will allow you to do multiple
machines at once.

If using the Registry the value is
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Veritas\NetBackup\CurrentVersion\Config\Exclude.
Easiest thing to do is set it once the way you like it and then go look at it
in the Registry and make everyone else look like that.

For scripting an install you can also edit the Registry.

Heres an example:

run "regedit.exe /s filename.reg" from cmd with the file containing the data
below to edit the Registry with values in file.

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Veritas\NetBackup\CurrentVersion\Config]
"SERVER_SENDS_MAIL"="YES"
"OTM_Use"="YES"
"OTM_Current"="ALL_AVAILABLE"
"OTM_Cache_Size_Max"=dword:00000000
"OTM_Error_Control"=dword:00000002
"OTM_Quiescent_Timeout"=dword:00000078
"CLIENT_READ_TIMEOUT"=dword:00000384

Is there anyway to push out a default exclude list for window$ machines
(either during
the install or post install).

I know that you can't really "push" out an install, but perhaps a post
install script or something?

thx,
