On NT, you should install and start the schedule as a service:

c:\program files\tivoli\tsm\server\baclient > dsmcutil install /name:"TSM
Scheduler"
/node:yournodename /password:yourpassword /autostart:yes

(same for ADSM, but \ibm\adsm\baclient)

On Win9x systems, you start the scheduler by issuing a dsmc sched command at
a dos prompt.  I think the error you are getting is because you are starting
dsmc and then issuing the sched command.  That won't work.  dsmc sched on
the dos prompt.  Most folks will then put this into a schedule (using the
Plus module in 95 and system tools in 98).
