     I have about 25 installs of V2.1.06 client in place and have had =
them
     in place for over a year.  Originally they were OS/2, but I slowly
     migrated them to NT.  I thought it was great to be able to run ADSM
     Scheduler as a service.  The service was pretty easy to install.

     I just upgraded one of my machines from V2.1.06 to V3.1.1.  I
     completely uninstalled the old version of the backup/archive =
client.

     After I did the new install, I couldn't figure out how to install =
the
     scheduler service.  Why was the neat little menu option taken away.
     Secondly, why did they take away the easy to use executible.

     I had to fumble around trying to get the right parameters before I
     could install the service even with the scarce help using the =
dsmcutil
     executible.  When I finally did get it installed I did not =
understand
     that the service name I was giving would be what it would actually =
be
     called.  I thought it was asking for the service executible.
     Consequently, my first attempt at installing the service ended up
     being dsmcsvc in my services panel.  Removing it was just as
     difficult.

     WHY?????  That is my question.  Why make it harder than in a =
previous
     release.
