How are you automating the NTbackup on your AD servers The servers causing me issues are in fact AD servers.

We have seen problems caused by the infamous DRM registry key and VSS but most problems have been fixed with newer clients and Windoz patches. On our AD servers, we are using NTBACKUP because M$ says that is the *ONLY* acceptible/sanctioned backup/restore utility but still backup the rest of the system with TSM.

I am always running into issues with some servers not able to get a successfull SYSTEMSTATE backup via TSM Latest clients have been Windows 2003 servers at 5.5.0 level If someone is how are you scheduling the NTBACKUP ?
