Problem conclusion
Although the original problem could not be duplicated, this information has been added to the Installation Guide for Windows platforms for clarity regarding domain controllers: You should not install a Tivoli Storage Manager server on a domain controller if there are performance critical applications also running on that domain controller. The Tivoli Storage Manager server can have periods of heavy CPU usage that can severely impact other applications running on the domain controller. Affected platforms: Windows.
