- Active Directory Support
- TSM server information, including server name, list of registered clients,
and communication parameters, can now be published in Active Directory.
The set up wizard for the TSM backup-archive client can look up this
information and use it to communicate with the server. The server
supports three new options that allow it to automatically update information
in Active Directory. A new Active Directory Configuration Wizard has
been added to the Server Utilities to allow non-Windows based TSM servers to
be defined.
- Enhanced Clustering Support
- The Server Utilities now includes a Clustering Configuration wizard and is
now fully integrated with the Microsoft Cluster Server Administrator.
This wizard can be run on different cluster nodes to help ensure that TSM is
properly configured to take advantage of fault-tolerant environments.
- Support for multiple Server Instances
- Enhancements for running multiple instances of the server on a single
machine are included. Server initialization has moved out of the set up
program and into a Server Initialization wizard. This wizard takes
clustering and performance data into account during initialization. All
server utility wizards have been updated to take instance information into
account.
- Terminal Server Performance Enhancement
- The Server Utilities will automatically detect when it is being run in a
Terminal Server session. In a Terminal Server session, it will not
display the splash screen or any wizard background graphics thus significantly
improving interactive performance.
- Microsoft Management Console (MMC) Snap-in
- A TSM management console is now available and includes snap-ins for the
Server Utilities, the Web Administrator, the Web Client, and related system
snap-ins. This allows custom tools to be created and customized using
features such as taskpads and the ability to add and remove other snap-ins to
the console.
- Windows 2000 Enhancements for the TSM Client
- Many updates have been made for the TSM Client. See the client
documentation for details.
