[Veritas-bu] 5.0 Admin Console with multiple servers

Does anyone else have this problem?

Using Windows Admin console 5.0GA (or even 5.0MP3 for
that matter).

1. Connect to server A. Poke around, policies look
good.  Right click on a client and get properties.

2. Connect to server B.  Same thing, everything looks
ok.  But if you right click on client and get
properties it fails. 

Looking in the logs it appears the the admin console
connects to the server and then normally passes on a
request for client properties thru the server, in a
quasi proxy style, so the client believes he's getting
a request from the server (not the admin console). 
However, starting with 5.0 it appears to be broken, so
that when you connect to another server and request
client properties it's passing the name of the first
server.

So in the above example, the logs on the client show a
connection from server A (not server B).  This can be
corrected by removing the product and re-installing
it, listing Server B only.  Additionally, if you
change the order of servers in the registry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VERITAS\NetBackup\CurrentVersion\Config]
, specifically the Server entry.

After changing that field you have to restart the
admin console.  Also, this problem doesn't manifest
itself using the Java Admin console.
