This is the wrong approach, this is basic functionality of NetWorker that
should work, and if it doesn't you should be raising support calls with
Legato. It might just be screwed up name resolution somewhere in the
environment, or it might be a bug that Legato needs to fix, and if they
don't know about it then it won't get fixed for the rest of us.

Also bear in mind that this will not work on Unix with NW 5.x, but it should
work on all Windows versions. I have never seen this not work and I have
worked on dozens of NetWorker sites.
