start it in console mode
     if it is a unix server... then it keeps a forground screen you may do
     your register and grant authority from...

     if it is mvs you can use "f adsm,register admin xxidxx xxpswdxx"
     and "f adsm,grant authority xxidxx class=system" from the mvs console

     later,
           Dwight

In order to do some testing, I have tried the following:

1) Started with a 3.1.2.0 level Server
2) Formatted a small database and log file
3) dsmserv format 1 logfile 1 dbfile
4) start ADSM

I do not want to load any existing database, but try some testing on this
small ADSM system.  However, when I bring ADSM up, it has no admins defined
and I cannot get into ADSM to do anything.  Even the default admin/admin is
missing.  Is there some way to get into ADSM to set up the first admins?

I could go the route and dig out my CD, install the base system and install
the upgrades as necessary.  But, this seems like a lot of unnecessary work
if I don't really have to.

Any ideas out there?   Thanks.
