Hi. I have a client which fails on backup. The client is a Windows XP machine
without SP2 installed. The server is a Solaris 8 machine running Networker
7.0. When backup runs it returns an error "probe unexpectedly exited" and
then "nsrexec: authtype nsrexec". I've done some tests based on what I've read
in this news group and a tech note at Legato's site. Here's what I found:
I've seen that happen with 7.x clients when the NetBIOS name (the Windows name) wasn't listed in the Aliases field for the client. With 6.0.x clients, I found I had to have the fully qualified Windows name in the client aliases field (in our case, something like cs-dave.ad.uiuc.edu) With 7.1.2 clients, only the Windows hostname is required (cs-dave.) Hopefully you're lucky enough to be in an environment where the DNS name and Windows name are the same thing.
