Legato fails "not a registered client" on NT

[GlenCatt]

I can't backup NT or Windows 9x clients using Legato Networker, although I can backup Unix clients.<br>
A &quot;savegrp -pv Groupname&quot; looks OK, but fails with &quot;clientname is not a registered client&quot;. I get the same error message whether I back it up from the Legatp Server, or try to use the WinWorker interface.<br>
Can anybody give me a clue, it's driving me nuts!<br>
<br>
Thanks, Glen<br>

Assuming you have added the 95 client into networker admin by setting a default user and dragging and dropping the client via the admin interface...<br>
<br>
There are three things I need to do when I add a cleint.<br>
1) The host file on Legato needs to have the client in it.<br>
2) The clients Host file needs to have the legato server in it<br>
3) The Alias field of preferences (when you edit a client in admin) must have the FQDN - not just COPMPUTERNAME, but COMPUTERNAME.MYCOMPANY.COM<br>
<br>
Hope this helps...

Using the fully qualified domain name in the "alias" field did the trick. Thank you! Glen
