Hi all,

We downloaded the ADSMConnect Agent for MS Exchange Server version 1.1
level 0A from the web, installation and manually running back-up and
restore worked fine, but we encounter a problem trying to define the
back-up as a service for NT.

This the command:

DSMCUTIL INST /NAME:'adsm exchange agent' /NODE:ADSMCA1
/PASSWORD:ADSMCA1 /AUTOSTART:YES
/CLIENTDIR:c:\win32app\ibm\adsm\baclient
/OPTFILE:c:\win32app\ibm\adsm\agentexc\dsm.opt


And here is the result:

"ADSM Windows NT Scheduler Service Configuration Utility
Command Line Interface Version 1.00.d
Last Updated 9-11-1997

Command: Install and Configure ADSM Scheduler Service
Machine: DVVLABEXCH551 (Local Machine)

Installing ADSM Client Service:

       Machine          : DVVLABEXCH551
       Service Name     : ADSM Exchange agent
       Client Directory : c:\win32app\ibm\adsm\baclient
       Automatic Start  : Yes

The service was successfully installed.

Generating registry password ...
Authenticating password with ADSM for node ADSMCA1....

Error 189 initializing ADSM API Session .

Password Authentication failed.

The Registry password wasn't updated."

We checked and doublechecked the password, tried with the generate
password option on and off,  even set authentication off on the ADSM
server to test if this would help, but even then the command seems to
requiere a password parameter ... when it is supplied, authentication
fails again .... even though the password is DEFINITIVELY correct.

Anybody familiar with this problem ? Does anybody know where I can look
up the API errror codes ? All help is appreciated.
