Yes, you are correct.  Those default ids all have "client owner"
privilege to the machine of the same name, and are only needed if you
want to run the web client instead of the usual Windows GUI to do
restores.
We delete them (in cases where we forget NOT to create them in the first
place).

Subject: Node User ID Question


As part of our SOX compliance work, we are currently reviewing all user
accounts, password policies, etc.... Historically, when TSM nodes were
created here, everybody just went ahead and created a userID as well.
These don't appear to get used. I assume it's so a user can log into TSM
with access to a specific node data from another client, or the web
client
for that matter. What are the pros and cons of leaving v.s. deleting
these
administrative accounts associated with the TSM nodes? If there's no
compelling reason to keep them, then I'll just remove them and make my
SOX
stuff that much easier. Thanks in advance.
