Use of CAD is a great idea for avoiding client memory issues, and
general overhead during the great period of each day when there is no
scheduled TSM activity.  Be sure that your MANAGEDServices client
option is set to have CAD only manage the Scheduler: you would not
want your Security department to one day run port scans and be
shocked to find a considerable number of Web servers running on
internal systems where they would never expect such to be...and
particularly where those Web servers are running as the all-powerful
"root" rather than safe "nobody".  Remember that CAD can also host
the Web Client, and does so by default.  (Deploy the Web Client
judiciously.)
