Hi Christian,
Windows 2008 R2 support does require changes in the client to make it work
correctly. The supporting code is not yet available. If you go to the link
in my sig and click "Client requirements", then find the article for
Microsoft Windows client requirements, you will find our statements of
intended support for Windows 2008 R2 (and Windows 7) in the TSM client
version 5.5 and 6.1 sections of that document.
In general, our policy is to provide support for new operating systems
within 90 days after the OS GA date (the "broad availability date", not
necessarily RTM date). According to Microsoft, Windows Server 2008 R2 is
planned for broad availability (i.e., GA) on October 22:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/roadmap.aspx
Unofficially, we are currently targeting TSM client version 6.1 support
much closer to Microsoft's GA date than the 90 days cited in the TSM client
requirements page (subject to change at our discretion until the support is
actually available).
Best regards,
Andy

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
