This error, usually occurs when you activate the Schedule Service, but your
password is not authenticated.

Keep ADSM Server Service running.
Try to stop, remove and then re-install the Schedule service without the option
/validate (or /validate=yes). This will force ADSM to validate its password
with the one that is in the Windows Registry:

>>ReadPswdFrom Registry(): ReadOpenPathEx(): win32 RC=2
>>sessOpen: Error 137 from signon authentication.

The Schedule service can be started again.

This worked with me !
