We are facing exactly the same problem with TSM Client 6.2.0, SCHEDMODE 
PROMPTED and standalone scheduler.
I have found in TSM Server activity log it is impossible to reach scheduler by 
port 1501.
I have asked  Windows 2008 Admin to allow communication TSM Server ---> 1501 on 
node in Win2008 firewall.
This night we will see results.

Subject: [ADSM-L] TSM Scheduler problem with Windows 2008

Good Afternoon,
I am having trouble configuring TSM Backup Client on Windows 2008 clients. The 
version ont he server is TSM 5.4.5.1 and the Windows Client is 5.5.2.12. After 
scheduling a test backup with the TSM server, the Client does not start at the 
sscheduled time. When I refresh the TSM services on the client the backup 
starts till completed. I have removed and re-installed the TSM Backup Client at 
least 3-4 times. I am not sure if it is a McAfee Virus scanner problem or a 
Windows 2008 firewall problem.

Has anyone seen this problem with Win 2008 before? [Shocked] I have submitted a 
ticket to IBM software support and to date haven't gotten much help. Does TSM 
6.1 have better luck with Windows 2008? [Question]

Any help would be much appreciated.
