Andy, Sorry my point was that while the domain statment in the dsm.opt file
does effect what is backed up from a command line and scheduler standpoint it
does not effect what you see in the GUI and where you see it in the GUI.
I ran a number of tests. Every time a mapped drive shows up in the GUI under
Network even when it is not in the dsm.opt file. Every time a UNC never shows
up under the GUI when it is in the dsm.opt file. I think it has always been
this way.
Now if you think it is a bug then I'd be happy to see things in the GUI based
on the domain statement. So I could put -C: to make sure the C:\ doesn't show
up in the GUI and web client or \\Server\SHARE so that it does show up in the
GUI and web client.
Again, where the mapped drives show up isn't an issue at all to me. It makes
complete sense that they would show up under Network.

Hi Kyle,
If the drive letter maps to a network resource, then it makes sense to
have it show up under network, whether it's in the domain or not.
I think if it is a valid resource to back up at the domain level, it
should appear in the GUI. The command line client and the scheduler
certainly recognize it when it's in the DOMAIN list.

Re: TSM Win client DOMAIN statement and unc names
Andy are you sure? I don't remember seeing UNC paths that have been added
to a dsm.opt show up in the GUI ever. I'm wondering if the F: drive shows
up in Wanda's case because it is mapped and all mapped drives show up
under Network in the GUI. I just mapped a drive without ever putting
anything in the dsm.opt and I see it under Network. Further I added it to
the dsm.opt and that didn't change the fact that it only showed up under
Network.
What I'm asking is do you really think adding something to the domain
statement, drive letter or UNC, will really have an effect on the GUI?
I'm running the V5.2.3 client on WinXP
