One other thing to look for is to see if you have any of the
DSM_ environment variables specified and pointing to a location
that is incorrect.

Look at the output of 'dsmcutil query /name:"name of service" '

Also check in the dsmerror.log and dsmsched.log for errors that
may indicate which directory the scheduler service is looking
for message file.  Don't remember the name right now.  It's a text
file, dscameng.txt or somesuch.

Just as a guess, I'd say something isn't right in the adsm/baclient
subdirectory.
I'd try reinstalling the old client into the adsm/baclient directory before
reinstalling the service.

If that doesn't work, I'd use regedt32 to hunt around and see if there are
any entries with "adsm" in them that have bad file pointers.

But again, I don't actually know, I'm just guessing......

  In testing a new version of the TSM 4.1 client I removed the ADSM
Central
Scheduler Service from an NT machine and installed the new version.  When
testing was complete I removed the TSM Service and then attempted to
reinstall the old Service.  When I attempt to run the DSMCUTIL to install
the service I get an error.  The command I am executing is as follows:

This is done from within the baclient directory for ADSM v3.1
DSMCUTIL INSTALL /NAME:'ADSM Central Scheduler Service'  /NODE:ECOMMDEV02
/PASSWORD:ECOMMDEV02 /AUTOSTART:YES
/CLIENTDIR:d:\progra~1\ibm\adsm\baclient

What I get in return is

"The ADSM Message Repository is corrupt"
"Password Authentification Failed"
"The Registry Password was not updated"

I then tried

DSMCUTIL UPDATEPW /NODE:ECOMMDEV02 /PASSWORD:GARBAGE5 /VALIDATE:YES
/UPDATEONSERVER:YES /OLDPASSWORD:ECOMMDEV02

I received pretty much the same error.  This is preventing me from
reinstalling scheduling services for this node to allow automated backups
to
run in the middle of the night.  Does anyone have any idea of how I can fix
this ?

   thanks ahead of time for your help and patience

   Stan
