The exact same thing happened to me during a disaster recovery exercise
(ADSM 3.1 for NT).  I removed the ADSDRVID= and had no problems from
then on.  Now that you mention it though, it would be nice to know what
it is and what it's doing there.  As far as I've been able to find,
it's not mentioned in the documentation anywhere.
