Nathan,

Since the only way I can get ADSM to recognize any clients or tape libraries or
administrative input until either it is rebooted, or I run dsmserv.exe, I assume
that yes in fact it is not running.  Immediately after running this command, I
am able to operate ADSM normally.  My question is that if just anyone could
potentially (and I mean potentially) connect to ADSM and enter in an incorrect
username or password, and shut this service down, is there a fix, or is this
just something noone has heard of?
