cd <NetVaultBackupInstallDirectory>\util
The default installation directory is C:\Program Files (x86)\Quest\NetVault Backup\util or the corresponding directory under C:\Program Files.
where <clientName> is the name of the next physical client that was added to the Virtual Client and <clientPassword> is the same one that you specified when you added the client to the NetVault Backup Server.
For example, if you have three hosts, run nvclientaccess -client <clientName> password <clientPassword> on Host1 with <clientName> as Host2. Run nvclientaccess -client <clientName> password <clientPassword> again on Host1 with <clientName> as Host3.
