Pat,

You need to be running at least W2K to run ITSM5.2 on your server.  For me..
Bad news!!

If you run the V5.1.7.0 client, it is compatible with your server @ 5.1.6.2
and has been updated recently to backup the System State and System Services
correctly.  It works fine for me and saved me a major headache!!!  Check
your IBM fixes bulletin!!!

Hi,
We are running a 5.1.6.2 TSM server and 5.1.6.2 Client. Up to now we have
only backed up NT4 and windows 2000 Clients.

We have just begun deploying Windows 2003 Active Directory and Windows 2003
servers. I am researching the level of support in TSM  5.1.6.2 for Windows
2003.

It would appear that Windows 2003 IS supported. However, I came across the
following:

"Windows 2003 System State and System Services backups require a TSM 5.2.0
or higher server" on the client requirements document on the web, and in the
Readme. This would indicate limited support for Windows 2003, particularly
Domain controller/ Active Directory backup with 5.1 server.

Do I need to upgrade to TSM server 5.2?
What level of support exists in 5.1?
Should I use a 5.2 client with 5.1 server?

TIA
Pat
