Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] New technote for Windows NetBackup Masters

Ok.. I was going to reserve comment but after those two comments bump
that...

<<<INCOMING SARCASM -  FLAME ON>>>

Synopsis of Technote - If you remove any of the critical Netbackup files
from Drive:\Program Files\Veritas when you run the Admin Gui on the
Netbackup Server, Windows Installer is (::ghasp / horrified look::)
going to try and put them back.

I mean, seriously, what is Microsoft thinking trying to put application
critical executables back into their proper places?  What kind of a
drunken imbecile of an admin wants their applications where they belong?
And even if we thought this was a good thing, we certainly wouldn't want
to call it a feature!?  And surely Symantec should realize a patch to
fix this undesirable good idea!

Thank you very much for pointing this out, I appreciate the effort.  I
think its great that you Xnix guys lob whatever bit of windows
misunderstanding across the fence you can find to potentially hit us on
the head with.  We after all as Windows admins aren't very smart, and
hitting us in the head with misunderstanding is certainly the best way
to educate us.

For the record: This is a feature of windows (go delete excel.exe and
try running excel and you will also find this "issue" present on non-nbu
machines too!)  Once the msiexec (windows installer) is done replacing
the missing files NBU will function fine and your operations people at
2:00AM will continue sleeping as usual, calendar function fully
restored.

I really am APPALLED at the level of blatant disrespect thrown around on
this forum between Xnix and Windows admins.  You should be ashamed.  As
both an SCSA and MCSE who supports everthing from Windows NT and Solaris
2.6 to Windows Server 2003 and Redhat 4 I find your attitudes pathetic.
If you feel the need to make someone miserible, why not go complain to
your neighbor when his lawn gets over 3" high because I'd prefer this
forum remain clear for good natured assistance from Netbackup
Administrators and peers.

PS: No I am not going to buy your book.
