Problems with node password reset

[ProbablyDown]

Hi Guys,

Here's an interesting one... I have a win client node on the other side of a firewall. We reset the password for this guy and it is now generating ~200 sessions when a schedule runs. Tried deleting and recreating the scheduler service, tried running the dsmc sched in the foreground, restetting the password back etc...

dsm.opt is set up the exact same way as the other servers behind the same f/w. (using a natted server address)

Here's a snippet of the dsmerror.log:

It does about 7MB of files then spawns new sessions. The event table shows that older schedules are still "In Progress"

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Oh - I tried this also:
we set pw on TSM server, then set a test sched to run in 5 minutes, then in client dos window ran dsmc sched, and waited for prompt from tsm server which will then come up with option to reset pw

...to see if I could get the encrypted password on the node changed.

Found the problem a couple days ago... Turns out to be a partially failed NIC. Had it replaced and all was well.
