I have been working with TSM/ISP since 2004, but I must admit I have never really understood why we have client node registered and an admin with same name/pass, and client owner authority also registered. Actually, it was default up to some version of TSM, when you register node, you also, by default, register an admin with same name/password, and client owner authority, for that node. At some point, it has been changed, and no additional admin is registered by default, only if specified (or added later).
It makes a lot of confusion, especially when passwords expires.I am not sure why we need that admin at all, but apparently for some operations it is necessary. Eg, as I remember TDP for Exchange will not work if there are no client owner admin registered with client node. Also, I just learned yesterday that regular BA client is unable to delete its own archives if there is no client owner admin available with same name, nevermind that node has right to delete its own archives.
Can someone elaborate a bit why and when we need client owner admin alongside with node itself?
