Hello,

Renaming the NT server services is not recommended.

The server initialization wizard creates up to four instances of the server
and names the services:

  TSM Server1
  TSM Server2
  TSM Server3
  TSM Server4

The server utilities depends on these names for certain operations.   If
you rename them then the server will work but the wizards and other
features of the server utilities will not work properly with the renamed
service.

If you must rename the services for some reason then it is better to use
remove.exe and install.exe that are located in the ...\tivoli\tsm\utils
directory.  You can run each with no arguments to get a usage message. The
majority of the dsmcutil parameters do not apply to the server and you will
have difficulty specifying the service location doing it that way.

   Does anyone know how to change the NT Service for the TSM Server?  I
   used
   the 4.1 wizard and the service was created as "Server 1".  I would like
   to
   rename/delete and recreate it with a more appropriate name.

   TIA

   For NT

   go to the location of the backup client (i.e.  c:\program
   files\tivoli\tsm\baclient)

   run the command   dsmcutil   remove /name:"server 1"

   then run    dsmcutil install  /name......with all the required
   parameters, the
   parameter list is availble in the online help of the application
