Hi,

How can we recover tsusers.xml/tsgroups.xml, if it is deleted or modified? What will be the major impact on this?

If you have regular backups of your IWHOME directory, you could recover them from there.
I'm sure Andy will chime in about having an Admin branch for managing all the configuration files and such - however these two files are actually modified (usually) via the Administration tab of the TS GUI and thus one would have to have a process for updating the copies in the Admin branch from the local disk (the opposite of what is usually done with an Admin branch) - which you might be able to implement with an iwat trigger script, but ...

If the file is modified (correctly) then the impact is that those modifications go into effect.

If the file is modified incorrectly), there will probably be error messages in one or more of the TS log files and, most likely, none of the information in the file will be interpreted - thus:

If the file is deleted - it's pretty much the same effect as above, though there might not be any error messages in any of the log files.
