Greetings all,

We have around 1,300 Windows 2K/NT clients, mostly just workstations, with
3 to 4 Gig to backup each.  We have experienced problems with the Central
Scheduler Service stopping, and not being able to trace the precise cause.

Some people recommend that Windows users re-boot on a regular basis - like
weekly.  This would help the Scheduler Service, since it will re-start on
boot also.   It probably helps all windows applications.

I think our problems are with those clients that leave their systems
running for weeks and months.  We have both TSM 4.1.2 and ADSM 3.1 Windows
clients, we're running TSM 4.1.3 on AIX servers.

So I wanted to put this out to the Forum to see if there is any shared
experience here, and if anyone has any insight into probable causes and
repairs.

Thank you.
