I know it's not much to go on -- that's what I'm getting from MY people
:-(

At the server side, I see no connect from the cluster, so I'm making the
assumption that the Windows 2003 scheduling process (whatever it is)
isn't actually working (Is there anything besides the 'at' command? I
haven't looked at this aspect of Windows since NT 3.51 . . .)

Tom,

"it's not happening" is not much to go on.  :-)
Can you get more details on what is not working?
What do you see in the TDPEXC.LOG file?
What errors are you getting?
Does the user-id that owns the Windows Scheduler
Service have enough authority to back up
the Exchange server and access the Windows registry?

Data Protection for Exchange 5.2.1 has been tested
in an Exchange 2003 Active/Active Cluster environment.
All "scheduler" testing was done using the
TSM backup/archive client scheduler.

Thanks,

Del
