Yep, now I can see what you are saying. Looks like a bug to me.

First of all, let me say that I have always had the password expiration
period set on the server for 9999.  This is the first time I have tried
using password expiration so it is very possible I am doing something
wrong.
I am using PASSWORDACCESS PROMPT.  Step 1 shows me my registry password.
In
step 3, I typed the "LEQ-22VF" password in at the password prompt and it
says "invalid password".  I tried both typing it in and cut and pasting it
in but it still doesn't work.  Oh by the way, "passwordaccess generate"
works fine.


1.  Connecting to TSM Server via client options file
'C:\Tivoli\TSM\baclient\dsm.opt
' ...
Registry password for node RESOURC-3 = 'LEQ-22VF' .
Authenticating password with TSM for node RESOURC-3 ....
Connecting to TSM Server via client options file
'C:\Tivoli\TSM\baclient\dsm.opt
' ...
The password for the specified ADSM node has expired .
Password Authentication failed.

2.  tsm: 2ND_DALLAS_TSM>upd node resourc-3 forcep=yes
ANR2063I Node RESOURC-3 updated.

3.  C:\Tivoli\TSM\baclient>dsmc q ses

Are you using PASSWORDACCESS GENERATE? If so, why do you think the
password is not being reset?

You can test this with a Windows client:

1) From the client machine, open an OS prompt and change into the
directory where the TSM client executables reside, i.e. C:\Program
Files\Tivoli\TSM\baclient.

2) Issue this command:

   dsmcutil showpw /node:yournodename

(where 'yournodename' is the client node name).

Make a note of the password.

3) From an Admin command, update the client node with the FORCEPWRESET=YES
option.

4) From the client OS prompt, issue these commands:

   dsmc q se
   dsmcutil showpw /node:yournodename

Is the password different from that shown in step 2 above?

Regards,

Andy

What I am trying to do is force certain clients to change its password
every
60 days or so.  I can't seem to force the client to change its password. I
issue the command "upd node client forcepwreset=yes" expecting it to force
the client to change its password the next time it logs into TSM.  It
doesn't seem to force me to do anything.  When I log in, I get no prompts
to
change my password.  What am I doing wrong?  I am feeling sort of stupid
right now :)
