You should migrate to the TSM 4.2 server, first, then follow with the
clients. While the 3.7 clients are not officially supported with the 4.2
server, in theory they should work (although you won't get all the new 4.2
function until the clients are also upgraded). Caveat: if you experience a
problem with a 3.7 client functioning with a 4.2 server, then before
reporting the problem to support, I would recommend that you first upgrade
the client to the 4.2 level and see if the problem still exists. Being
that the 3.7 client and 4.2 server is not officially supported, that is
most likely the first thing support would ask you to do, anyway.
Also note that not every 3.7 client platform is supported in version 4.2
(example: Windows 95). In such an instance, you should consider upgrading
the OS (I know this is far more easily said than done) or using the 4.1
client version (if one exists) for that platform.

Subject: Re: TSM Versions
Hi all,
We are currently running the server at 3.7 and clients running 3.7 and
earlier. With 3.7 going off support at the end of October, I need to
migrate my server to 4.2, along with the clients.
If I read the website correctly, the 3.7 version of the client is not
compatible with the 4.2 version of the server and vise versa. If this is
true, then how does one migrate from 3.7 to 4.2? Do you have to update
your
clients to at either 3.7 or 4.1 followed by your server to 4.1 followed by
the clients to 4.2 and then the server to 4.2? Or can the server be
migrated to 4.2 then the clients, as time allows. Any thoughts?
