Hi sandy
put the following lines in a batchfile to start these servcies.

pushd "C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\baclient"
DSMCUTIL INSTALL CAD /NAME:"TSM Client Acceptor" /NODE:%COMPUTERNAME%
/PASSWORD:%COMPUTERNAME% /VALIDATE:YES /AUTOSTART:YES /STARTNOW:no
/optfile:"C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\baclient\dsm_%COMPUTERNAME%.opt"
DSMCUTIL INSTALL REMOTE /NAME:"TSM Remote Client Agent" /NODE:%COMPUTERNAME%
/PASSWORD:%COMPUTERNAME% /VALIDATE:YES /partner:"TSM Client Acceptor"
/AUTOSTART:no /STARTNOW:no /optfile:"C:\Program
Files\Tivoli\TSM\baclient\dsm_%COMPUTERNAME%.opt"
net start "tsm client acceptor"

works fine with WIN2K
