We had a similar experience with 2 of our Netware 4.1 servers... anytime
you'd try to unload the ADSM scheduler, the server would abend.  .. the
problem went away when when we applied the current 4.1 server maintenance
from Novell and upgraded the ADSM Netware client to the latest and greatest
level.  Not sure what fixed it but the problem did go away when we did this.

No suggestions at this end as I could not recreate the problem.
What is the scheduler doing at the time you issue the DOWN command?  Is it
in the process of backing-up file system data or the NDS ?

This sounds like a problem that needs to be addressed by the ADSM level-2
support group; they will be able to work with you and help re-create
the problem by better understanding your scenario ...
