Workstation Installation

Incident Description

TSM needs to be setup on a new workstation on the network, or re-applied.

Resolution

The TSM workstation install needs to be run on any computer you wish to use to access TSM. From time to time, the workstation install may need to be re-run on a computer for various IT reasons, or as a result of a version updated of TSM. Not all version updates require the Workstation installation to be run again.
