This will probably work but doing it this way will
send your data on a double network hop.

Exchange Server------>Admin Machine------>TSM Server machine

as opposed to:

Exchange Server------>TSM Server machine

In addition, it is not supported by IBM.
One of the TDP for Exchange requirements is
that you run the TDP for Exchange client on the
machine that the Exchange server is on.

At this stage, using a remote access product
is the best way to solve this problem today.
