I'm in the process of migrating a bunch of TSM servers from Windows Server
2003 to Windows Server 2008 (x64) and thought I'd share one of the gotchas
I came across.

When attempting to refresh an operational report from the TSM management
console, the console went through the motions of apparently generating the
report, but never produced the output. It turned out the TSMREPT.EXE
process that should have been spawned wasn't being.

The solution was to change the compatibility setting for the file
TSMREPT.EXE in the console directory to enable "Run this program as an
administrator". Without this, attempting to run the utility from a command
prompt gave the error "A referral was returned from the server".
Interestingly, the TSMVER.EXE command gave the same error and required the
same change whereas the TSMDLST.EXE command worked fine.
