Note
I used Orca (part of the MS Platform SDK) added a row to the Property table call "DEFAULTMEDIASERVER" plugged my DLO server name in the value field.

Used MSITRAN -g [orig msi] [modified msi] [name of mst] and used the resulting transform in the GPO.

Seems to be working out just fine for me.

The following ADM file should allow the setting of the media server for the workstation:

Note
The DLO agent can be deployed using the vendor-supplied MSI file (located in the DLOAgent share on your media server):

VERITAS Backup Exec DLO Agent.msi

You must apply a transform for the installation to be successful.

The transforms I believe are based on MS standard language codes:

1031.MST: German
1033.MST: English
1034.MST: Spanish
1036.MST: French
1040.MST: Italian
1041.MST: Japanese
1042.MST: Korean
2052.MST: Chinese (Simplified)

If you don't specify a "DefaultMediaServer" in HKLM\Software\Veritas\DLO\Client and/or HKLM\Software\Veritas\DLO\2.0\Client the agent will display an error on logon. I have posted an ADM file which will hopefully appear in the Lockdown section.
