Wolf,
this sounds like a communications problem from exchange. it could be useful
if you run microsoft's BackTest utility that's in the exchange SDK. that
should tell you what the actual exchange return code is (425 is, as William
shows you, the TDP return code, not Exchange's) and clear up if it's a TSM
or exchange problem. some known problems in multi processor environments
are officially explained in microsoft's support site
(support.microsoft.com) and the one relative to your function is at
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q192440
where they tell you that it's a known error and the solution is to install
SP4 which you say you have already done. I would speak to Exchange
development to get some feedback at this point.

Wolf-C,
Here is a part of the dsmrc.h file that documents the tsm api return codes.
/*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
/* 400-430 for options
/* 400-430 for options

#define DSM_RC_INVALID_OPT 400 /* invalid option

#define DSM_RC_NO_HOST_ADDR 405 /* Not enuf info to connect server

#define DSM_RC_NO_OPT_FILE 406 /*No default user configuration

#define DSM_RC_INVALID_SERVER 409 /* Invalid server name from client

#define DSM_RC_INVALID_KEYWORD 410 /* Invalid option keyword

#define DSM_RC_OPT_OPEN_FAILURE 420 /* can't open file

#define DSM_RC_OPT_INV_NODENAME 421/* used for Windows if

#define DSM_RC_CLUSTER_NOT_ENABLED 422/* cluster server is not running or
*/
/* installed when CLUSTERNODE=YES
*/
#define DSM_RC_OPT_NODENAME_INVALID 423/* generic invalid nodename
*/
As ou can see, 425 isn't here, but then, that is what the message is
saying, isn't it?
I think you should contact Tivoli support.
Hope this helps,
Bill
