The last version of TSM that supports Windows 2000 is 5.3. The 5.4 client
requirements page, client manual, and README file indicate that Windows
2000 is no longer supported. In 5.4.2 we enforced the support (actually it
happened in a 5.4.1.x interim fix).

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

Re: TSM Client 5.4.2.0 OS Support






I just wanted to see if anyone else had ran into a similar issue.  I
tried again on another Windows 2000 server... still no luck.  I thought
I had read somewhere that client version 5.5 was no longer going to be
supported on Windows 2000.
