Hi,,,We have a special client node setup to allow our helpdesk to
     restore files from different clients.  When we add a new client we
     issue the following command.

     dsmc set access archive * SPECCLNT -password=xxxx -nodename=NEWCLNT
     dsmc set access backup * SPECCLNT -password=xxxx -nodename=NEWCLNT
     DSMC QUERY access -password=xxxx -nodename=NEWCLNT

     So in our helpdesks restore procedures they signon as if the are
     client SPECCLNT and then they are allowed to view/restore NEWCLNT
     files.

     My questions to IBM or experience ADSMers:
     1.) Do we really have to do this?
     2.) When the above command is issued from a machine that has a
         higher level of ADSM on it then the NEWCLNT we may get the
         following message when starting NEWCLNT

     ANR0428W Session 10211 for node NEWCLNT (OS/2) refused - client is
     down-level with this server version.

     3.) Is there a way from the ADSM server (side) that we can tell
         what level of ADSM an individual client is running?

     Sorry for the long email..

     Any help would be appreciated.
