David,

        Attached is a .BAT file that I set up to make the installation
of the service a little easier.  When I finally got the command syntax I
wanted, I threw it in this file.  All I have to do is edit it to change
the password I wanted.  Here is the command syntax we use:

        d:
cd \win32app\ibm\adsm\baclient
dsmcutil inst /name:"ADSM Central Scheduler Service" /password:canon
/clientdir:d:\win32app\ibm\adsm\baclient /autostart:yes

        All the parameters are pretty self-explanatory.  Just a note,
the quotation marks are necessary with the spaces.
