Curtis, see Mike Dile's post from 07/25  (go to www.adsm.org).

He said to put the backup commands in a .bat file and schedule the execution
of the .bat file, e.g. "dsmc backup eventlog".

There was another post from Andy Raibeck on 07/26 that said they expect to
make improvements in the Win 32 client over the next year that will take
care of more of the Win2K objects automatically.
