However: at 7.3.x and above you cannot edit jukebox resources from

total ignorance about how this now works, can anyone enlighten me please?
And that's just not the case. We use nsradmin in 7.3.x to edit jukebox
resources all the time. Most administration we do is via nsradmin and we
just use the GUI as a visual aid and monitoring.
OK... I want to be wrong about this one...
Recently I was trying to edit the device order of a jukebox on a Windows
2003 NetWorker server running NW 7.4.1. I was using nsradmin in batch
mode, using a print and an update command. This is something I have done
successfully many times at versions up to 7.2.x, but of course good old
nwadmin also used to allow me to do this and NMC doesn't.
What I found was that the edit appeared to work, and even querying the
updated resource back again it looked correct, but when I loaded tapes
into the drive it still loaded them into the wrong one. I eventually
deleted the jukebox and recreated with jbconfig. I found that the
auto-config from NMC does not work well at all so resorted to the old
faithful command line tool.
I wasted a whole afternoon on this, which is why I _was_ fairly
convinced that it no longer worked, plus the fact that others on this
list have said similar things.
Perhaps more investigation is needed - as I say, I want to be wrong.
