Registry entry,  servers are listed in hex.  
Change the servers on one machine
Run regedit
Export HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VERITAS\NetBackup\CurrentVersion\Config
then remove all but the "Server"= as below then import that .reg file on all 
your windows clients.  Make sure your final .reg file looks like this just the 
1 entry for Server"

yes my hex values have been changed

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Change server list on windows clients.

I'm afraid I'm rather UNIX-centric.  

I've recently inherited a large number of windows client that need
updates to the media servers that they'll talk to.  Since windows
doesn't use a 'bp.conf' file like UNIX, is there some way of scripting
an update to the list?  Right now I'm having to do it by hand, logging
into each one.  Right now none of the members of the existing list can
communicate with the clients (isolated network).  So whatever I'm going
to do will have to be local.

I'm guessing there's not a single file with this information, but maybe
a registry setting or something?

Thanks for any suggestions.
