Sorry this is a bit late, but it might help someone some day. Instead of just having a command schedule defined as: "c:\lala\something.exe yatta yatta"
It can be very helpful to redirect the process's stdout and stderr a log file: "c:\lala\something.exe yatta yatta >c:\something.log 2>&1" This will nearly always give you the actual error message issued by the process, often saving you the effort of tracing or tracking down poorly reported return codes. In addition to TSM-related errors, it'll even report why Windows thought something.exe wasn't executable, e.g., it couldn't be found. ________________________________ Alex Paschal Storage Solutions Engineer MSI Systems Integrators (503) 943-6919 - Office ________________________________ Your Business.

I was referring to the login permission for TDPEXCC to access the correct AD objects required for backup. Good idea to get the trace... especially since your other machines are working with the exact same setup. If you still have issues, you should place a call with IBM Service.
