Hi,

You can define a Schedule with the duration you need. Set the schedmode in
de client option file to polling and install the Schedule service. The
schedule service will start, even if there is no network connectivity to the
TSM server. If there is network connectivity to the TSM server, the client
will retrieve the schedule from the TSM server and will schedule its
back-up. Because its polling mode the exact time the back-up start cannot be
predicted. 

An other way is define a script to check if the network is available and if
so start "dsmc i". 

Or, if your user don'n mind, just put a cmd in his Startup folder saying
"dsmc i", even if the network is unavailable.

We use the first option on a couple of laptops running Win2K and TSM
5.1.x.x.

Gr,

Karel

Just install the scheduler service using the system (=default) or local
account. You only need a valid TSM user and password and a network
connection. No domain validation takes place.

What´s up iTSMers.
Do anyone have a idea how to sold my problem.
I got a Windows XP Laptop on our network who NOT are included in our
domain. (Stand-Alon PC)
But the user who has that laptop want all his information backed up.
And of course the user can run DSM as his own or I can create icon on his
desktop so hi just dubbelclick on it.
But I was hope if I can create a Scheduler who automaticly started when he
is connected to our network.
So if you have any crasy idea how to sold my issue. Please send it to me.

Basic Information about our IT inverment.
TSM Server 5.1.6.3 (Windows 2000)
TSM Client 5.1.5.15 (Windows XP Clients)
1 Gbit Eth Network
No Internal Firewalls or Gateways between the TSM Server and XP Clients.

Thanks for your help.
