NT 4.0 SP5
TSM Client 3.7.1.0
TSM Server 3.7.3.0 OS/390 2.9


I have several NT clients (both server and workstation) that keep loosing
their registry password that was generated from PASSWORDACCESS GENERATE.
Here's a little bit from the DSMSCHED.LOG file from one of them.

 The schedule starts and the sessions is lost and it re-initiates the
session, but then that new session fails with the password mis-match. But
that password was just working when the schedule started!!! The way I 'fix'
this is to remove and re-install the scheduler service. This particular
client is 3.7.1.0, but I've had the problem on 3.7.2.0 clients.

Here's the corresponding DSMERROR.LOG entries:
