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. <<<<<<< Start DSMSCHED.LOG >>>>>>> Executing scheduled command now. 11/16/2000 05:43:07 --- SCHEDULEREC OBJECT BEGIN BW70100 11/16/2000 01:00:00 11/16/2000 05:46:19 ANS1228E Sending of object '\\ntpc2064\c$\EDMNT\edmexecd.log' failed 11/16/2000 05:46:19 ANS4987E Error processing '\\ntpc2064\c$\EDMNT \edmexecd.log': the object is in use by another process 11/16/2000 05:46:20 ANS1809E Session is lost; initializing session reopen procedure. 11/16/2000 05:47:00 ... failed 11/16/2000 05:47:01 --- SCHEDULEREC STATUS BEGIN 11/16/2000 05:47:11 Total number of objects inspected: 9,904 11/16/2000 05:47:11 Total number of objects backed up: 43 11/16/2000 05:47:11 Total number of objects updated: 0 11/16/2000 05:47:11 Total number of objects rebound: 0 11/16/2000 05:47:11 Total number of objects deleted: 4 11/16/2000 05:47:11 Total number of objects failed: 1 11/16/2000 05:47:11 Total number of bytes transferred: 18.09 MB 11/16/2000 05:47:11 Data transfer time: 17.06 sec 11/16/2000 05:47:11 Network data transfer rate: 1,085.74 KB/sec 11/16/2000 05:47:11 Aggregate data transfer rate: 79.04 KB/sec 11/16/2000 05:47:11 Objects compressed by: 0% 11/16/2000 05:47:11 Elapsed processing time: 00:03:54 11/16/2000 05:47:11 --- SCHEDULEREC STATUS END 11/16/2000 05:47:11 ANS1025E Session rejected: Authentication failure 11/16/2000 05:47:11 --- SCHEDULEREC OBJECT END BW70100 11/16/2000 01:00:00 11/16/2000 05:47:11 ANS1512E Scheduled event 'BW70100' failed.

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.
