Thanks. I was hoping not to have to upgrade all my 3.4 DC masters (on HP) just 
to support a new MS OS. I would hope Veritas would sweep back and provide us 
with a patch for our 3.4 environments to accommodate. Just a little bit of 
frustration that I have to upgrade my NB environments every time a new OS level 
comes along. If it wasn't such a huge jump from 3.4 to 4.5, it wouldn't be such 
a big
issue. Since we are a validated company, there is alot of work involved just to 
backup a 2003 server; upgrade 13 masters to 4.5 and perform all the validation 
paper work.
