Taking over from Bob Douglas.....

The TSAxxx.NLMs are loaded way before ADSM - hence the fact that it does
work - it's just that it almost always fails at the first attempt,
and then manages to connect a few seconds later.  Obviously the
schedule runs as it should, it is just that it returns an error each
time, which means that the logs then need looking at just to confirm
that it is only that problem....

The NLMs are the latest (well certainly on the NetWare
servers in this building!).  The problem only occurs when running
schedules, there are no problems with non-scheduled operations.
