Hi,

for installation and deinstallation of TSM services (scheduler, agent,
acceptor) during update procedures I'm using two batch files:
tsminstall.bat:
dsmcutil install Scheduler   /name:"TSM Scheduler" /AutoStart:Yes
/NODE:%COMPUTERNAME% /PASSWORD:xxxx
dsmcutil install CAD         /name:"TSM Client Acceptor"
/AutoStart:Yes /NODE:%COMPUTERNAME% /PASSWORD:xxxx
dsmcutil install Remoteagent /name:"TSM Client Agent"
 /NODE:%COMPUTERNAME% /PASSWORD:xxxx /partnername:"TSM Client Acceptor"


tsmremove.bat:
dsmcutil REMove /name:"TSM Scheduler"
dsmcutil REMove /name:"TSM Client Acceptor"
dsmcutil REMove /name:"TSM Client Agent"

After installation of TSM I run tsminstall.bat. The problem I have is
updating TSM Clients. For updates I run tsmremove.bat, run setup.exe
and after that tsminstall.bat so that those services are back online
again. Unfortunately on my Windows 2003 boxes the TSM Scheduler
services is not removed online it is only disabled and I have to reboot
the box. The service is only marked for deletion (Client version
5.3.2.2 or 5.3.4.0 or 5.3.0.14).

On my windows 2000 boxes I did not yet get such a behaviour. Is that a
bug in compiled dsmcutil or developer tools. Using operating system sc
utility I couldn't yet remove TSM Scheduler service but TSM Client
Acceptor can be remove "online".


Best Regards,
