Pre and Post Commands
I'm running a W2000 backup server BENT 8.6 Rev. 3878. Trying to
use the Pre/Post options to stop/start a service on a W2000 server in a backup
job which contains multiple servers. The .bat
job is: netsvc.exe \\hphrdev1 ServiceCenter /stop . If I run the
.bat manually it works, when I add it to the Pre/Post in Veritas
the log shows that the software reads it but nothing happens.
Veritas support's answers was that it's software may not work with some executible.
What! This is a W2000 Resource Kit exe. I was told to use the Scheduler
or AT command on the local machine.
This is not the answer I was looking for. Anyone out there find
a way to make it work? Veritas needs to have its developers write some code
to make this work....
Thank you, FRUSTRATED

Yeah, I find that answer kind of lame. My first guess at your problem would
be that the Veritas services are not running with sufficient privileges.
Does the service account have domain admin rights? Is the remote machine a
member of the domain?

Re: Pre and Post Commands
I experienced that the Pre/Post command didnt work on BE 8.5 on Oracle server.
We at the end created an independent batch prog. using NT command.

Re: Pre and Post Commands
The account we use for backups is a member of the domain admin
group and the server does belong to the domain. I think it is
poor design on Veritas.
Thanks for your suggestion. Dave
