Re: [Networker] How to automate duplicate changes?

I would do this using nsradmin to edit the clients in vi and do a search
and replace operation:

nsradmin 'type: nsr client; name: client, client, client,...'
This will put you in a vi session (assuming you are using Unix) and you
can then do something like
:%s/storage nodes: old_node/storage nodes: new_node/

If you are using Windows, there must be some equivalent command that
will launch notepad or wordpad and you can do a find and replace.

You might make a backup copy of your nsr.res just in case you make a
mistake.

Hi,

Let's say I wanted to change one of the field values, e.g. storage node,
on every client to a different value. How can I do this without manually
clicking on each client and then changing it? In particular, maybe a
field that can have more than one value. Manually doing this will take
some time. It just seems that if I need to make the same change to
everyone, there would have to be a quicker way.

Thanks.
