    Hi,

    Thank you for the suggestion, however removing the -w switch removes the wait function.

    I have now solved this by changing the script to the below:

    vmupdate -rt tld -rn 0 -rh servername.domain -use_barcode_rules -empty_map

    the -empty_map switch appears to be undocumented but works fine.  This, added to a batch file and run through a Windows scheduled task is how this has been automated.

    Thanks, Mike

Bill,

My apologies, I could not see for looking.  It is there and I obviously missed it (NetBackup_Commands.PDF, p.696).
