The server's window is definitely lasting 8 hours; it seems the client
is not working properly.  A windows 95 client running the ADSM scheduler
(v3.103) generated the following error when querying the server for its
next scheduled event after midnight but before the schedule window
finishes:  "ANS1815E Either the window has elapsed or the schedule has
been deleted".  Perhaps the scheduler client is unable to handle a date
change or am I misinterpreting this error message?

Thanks,
