Dear all,

I'm sorry, but I'm not sure how to describe the problem with a few
words, so I'll tell what was done and what happend:

user A uses an old PC running Windows98 (call it PC-A) and a TSM-Client
(with nodename PC-AA).
user B uses a newer PC running WindowsXP (call it PC-B) and a TSM-Client
(nodename PC-BB)

user B gets some new hardware and gives the old one (PC-B) to user A.
user A reconfigures TSM to the nodename PC-AA.

now user A can restore some data of the former PC-AA (but not all!) and
some data of the former PC-BB (worriing about it).

uninstalling and newly installing the client does not solve the problem.
neither using tools to clean-up the windows registry, nor deleting the
whole "C:/program files/Tivoli"-folder.


perhaps, he can reinstall the whole windows-stuff which should solve the
problem.
but, isn't it a security lack that user A can restore data of user B?

Any ideas how to make the PC getting only the data of the assigned
TSM-Node?
Any idea where TSM may store some config files or which keywords may be
used inside the registry beside Tivoli, tivoli, tsm, TSM?

Any solution besides complete reinstall?

thanks,

Bjørn
