Hi,
Howard, you can use -optfile=C:\location\dsm.opt in Windows but you can't use 
-servername=Instance_name in Windows.

Joe, what you can do to make sure your users can't access other peoples data is 
by change the security on DSM.OPT, and put dsm.opt in their directory with 
ReadOnly access.
Now should you be able to run dsm.exe -optfile=D:\Users\Company\dsm.opt and 
also have put your security to a higher level.

Best Regards
Christian Svensson

No, that won't work on a Windows Client.

You have to do the following in a batch file:

Set dsm_config=c:\location\of\dsm.opt
dsm

The reason being, the Windows client doesn't take the same arguments as
the *NIX clients.

See Ya'
