Reply To: Replace text in TSM option file

Hi Joe,

You shouldn’t need that extra “old” file. Here’s your script with a minor tweak to remove the “middle-man”:

$servers = get-content c:\joe\tsmlist.txt

$Date = (Get-Date -format “dd-MM-yyyy_HH-mm-ss”)

foreach ($server in $servers){

    $server

    $file = copy-item “\\$server\c$\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\baclient\dsm.opt” “\\$server\c$\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\baclient\dsm-$Date.opt” -PassThru

    get-content $file.FullName |
foreach-object {$_ -replace ‘EXCLUDE\.DIR “C:\\Documents and Settings”’, ”} |
set-content “\\$server\c$\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\baclient\dsm.opt”

    Restart-Service -InputObject $(get-service -ComputerName $server -Name “TSM Client Scheduler”)

}
