Hi Tim,
Basically, the problem with the right part of the clients matching a query
in 'nsradmin' appeared in our environment suddenly (after upgrading from
6.1.3 to 7.1.2). Our change scripts (basically for aliases and savesets for
a machine) were created when using our first Legato version 5.x and they
worked as expected (i.e. searching for "client1.domain" doesn't update
"controlclient1.domain").
When we found this problem (in september'2004) we opened a case with Legato
throught our HP maintenance contract. We sent tests and more tests until
Legato assumed the problem and the sent us a message and a new
'nsradmin.exe'. The message was:
>>>>>>>> BEGIN
3114367 clients that have a similar name
Hello X,
I've got response from engineering that it will not be possible to provide a
complete solution or patch fix in short term. The cause for the problem
reported is that deep in core NetWorker structure not being able to be
changed in a patch fix.
However a quick fix of nsradmin.exe has been provided doing a correct
selection to the client name. The limitation: when more than one client
resource for the same client, only the first match is reported or selected.
This means a unique selection will have to be made already resulting in a
unique selection. For example by adding group or save set to the selection.
Please let me know about your experiences using this.
Depending on this Legato engineering will decide about the next steps.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any question or concern.
Regards,
Legato Support

But, this new patch doesn't worked for us because of its limitations (only
the first client alphabetically was selected). For example, an incorrect
client selected:
E:\downloads>nsradmin_new.exe
NetWorker administration program.
Use the "help" command for help.

Or the "old problem" when 2 similar clients selected:

name: controlfoobar.ourdomain;
client id: \
349e15c5-00000004-4190d4e6-4190d537-1dc50000-93532908;

Annonying? Yes but ...
Sorry again Tim for this little discussion derivated from another question.
See you.
