There maybe better way out there, but how about this solution If "Scheduled Task" is on NT, then this should work.
Simply created two batch files, called stop_adsm.bat, and start_adsm.bat with client's schedule name. C:\>type stop_adsm.bat net stop "TSM Schedule Name" C:\>type start_adsm.bat net start "TSM Schedule Name" Goto "Scheduled Task" Create two scheduled tasks. one for stop_adsm.bat and other for start_adsm.bat You can setup once a month to stop and start.

On the 3rd of every month, an application process runs on the NT client that clashes badly with TSM's scheduled backup, so we've been asked to disable the TSM backup of this client on the 3rd of each month. There's no way to schedule this per-month exception using the Client Schedule parameters. Could someone recommend a tried/tested method for accomplishing this? -rsvp, thanks Kent Monthei GlaxoSmithKline
