The best way to schedule ADSM on NT is to install the scheduler as an NT
"service".
That way it runs even if the user signs off the console.

If you are NT 4.0 and using the Win32 client at 2.1.0.5 or later, there
should be an icon in the Win32 program group which is "install the
service".  Run that, and it will install the scheduler for you.

After you run the install, click on Start/Settings/Control
panel/Services.
You will see the "ADSM Scheduler Service" on the list of services.
Click the START button.

For documentation, see   /adsmdir/baclient/dsmcsvci.txt

There is also some info about NT and the Scheduler service in the README
file for the client.
There is an icon for the README in the program group.

        Subject:        nt adsm backup

        We've got an NT server here that we've been trying to get on a
regular
        backup for over a month. The user signs off the NT console so it
        shutsdown the normal ADSM scheduler interface. We're trying to
use the
        NT scheduling piece to contact ADSM when it's time for the
backup but
        don't know enough about NT operation (and neither does the end
user) to
        make it happen.

        Is anyone using the NT scheduling piece that can give us the
syntax to
        get the backup scheduled? Where is (if it is) the command(s)
documented.

        TIA for any help.
