Has anybody successfully installed a scheduler service on a remote NT
node via the dsmcutil command?

e.g. To install a scheduler service on node DRN2302 from node FRED.  On
FRED, I issue the following command:

dsmcutil install /name:"ADSM Central Scheduler Service"
/clientdir:"d:\adsm_v\baclient" /node:DRN2302 /machine:DRN2302
/password:client /autostart:yes /optfile:"d:\adsm_v\baclient\dsm.opt"

this returns:-

The service is installed but it doesn't work as it cannot find the
options file.

I have successfully deleted remote scheduler services and can install
them OK locally.

Can anybody help?
