Hi Tom! Thanks for putting me on the right track! As soon as I started dsmcutil I saw that it tried to load a 5.3.0 API. This while I had the 5.1.7 client installed. It looks like the TSM 5.3 uninstall doesn't remove all files, it leaves the tsmapi.dll behind in the SYSTEM32 directory. A re-install of the 5.1.7 client does not replace the tsmapi.dll, so I had to uninstall 5.1.7, remove the tsmapi.dll manually and reinstall 5.1.7. Now everything works fine again! Kindest regards, Eric van Loon KLM Royal Dutch Airlines
