Error description

  • Error Description: Auto deployment of the client may
    fail with the following message.
    
    ANE4252E The setup script failed to start the deployment manager
     as a scheduled task with the Windows "at" command.  Ensure that
    the Windows Task Scheduler service is running. It is possible
    that the system event log contains more details about the
    failure. Reschedule the client deployment.
    
    This is caused by a space in the path used by auto deployment.
    For example "C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\"
    
    This is a known problem with Microsoft's Schtasks.exe command
    line tool, as documented in KB823093:
    
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/823093
    
    Tivoli Storage Manager Versions Affected: 6.3, 6.4, 7.1
    
    Initial Impact: Low
    
    Additional Keywords: autod, autodeployment, autodeploy, sched,
    

Local fix

  • Make sure "at.exe" command is in your path. The deployment code
    will first try "at.exe", which does not have the issue with
    space in the command line.  Also, the client can be manually
    installed.
