SO NMC 3.1 now icluded with Networker?
 
What if we already own Networker?  How do we get enablers?
 
I installed it today and while not great it is way better than NWADMIN in
terms of reporting.

        It's not in the pipeline because the feature is there NOW/TODAY in
NMC V3.1

        The resource copying feature was brought up at birds of a feather
meeting 
        this morning, and they didn't mention that it was in the pipeline.  

        Other issues we talked about included being able to search the
database for 
        filenames (ever have a user ask you restore a file, but they aren't
sure of 
        the name?), plus several other very productive items.   Another main
concern 
        is that when moving an enabler from one server to another, and you
forget to 
        delete it, and it disables both servers - look to give a warning
first.  

        The meeting was very productive with several Legato developers there,
along 
        product "usability" managers. No promises were made, but they are
definitely 
        looking to improve the product. 

        Stan - 
        The quick answer to your question is that MAC OSX will be available
as a 
        client.  I gave him a copy of your email, and he said that he would
address 
        the issues directly with you.

        This is wonderful news! That resource copying feature would be a  
        welcome addition! Most of my client entries are almost identical in  
        their configuration, so being able to copy an old entry to create a  
        new entry with a different client name would be a very good thing!
