This sounds like a bad design.  How about a Correction of the Design
process?

        Subject:        Re: TSM Win2K 4.2.0 client scheduler problems

        I just got off the phone with TSM level 2 support.  This is a known
problem
        with the Windows 2000 4.2.0 client.  It is a timing issue.  The
client
        can't get the password from the server and tries 3 times.  A second
        later it gets it.  The developers have no fixes for this, no APAR
        either.  They may just document it as "working as designed".  Beside
getting
        these erroneous errors in dsmerror.log and the event log, scheduled
backup
        works just fine.
