I agree about the Originator being a pain - the Activity Log browser is
probably one of the three most often used parts of the admin client.  I
reinstalled just the client (actually, I restored it, and the associated TXT
file to a separate directory, and then copied in the DSM.OPT, added an icon
to the start menu, and I was in business.  Actually, while I really like the
ability to resize the panels and have them remembered, I didn't see all that
much new in the admin client.

I also found a nasty little bug in the scheduler events query - you can't ask
to just see the admin events - it gives you every scheduled event for the
period requested.  I don't want to pick through 700+ client schedules to see
the half dozen admin activities I'm interested in.

Fortunately, someone had placed a brief blurb about a BAT file he had
written for the 3.1 scheduler last week --- I took this and expanded it to
include more of the options described in the documentation, and was able to
get the scheduler to load as well as work automatically. It ran without a
hitch all weekend in unattended mode, but I  hope I don't have to run it in
interactive mode any time soon (looks a little unfriendly).

And the ORIGINATOR problem is truly a pain --- I really don't want to
reload v2 again because I do like the look and ease of use with the v3.11
client, but may entertain the idea if the machines really get bogged down.
Hopefully IBM will get the fix for this out soon.
