Am I?  :-(

I have just had a look at a 7.2.1 Solaris server, and many of the
clients have no information whatsoever about the NetWorker version, OS
type etc. Am I missing something here? I know I can query these by
connecting to the client (echo p | nsradmin -p 390113 -s clientname) but
how do I get the server to update?

I am looking forward to being corrected with more details.

I was curious and looked at my clients on v7.3.2 server.  Most of my
clients were v7.2.1 when I set up my server and clients.  I went through
and upgraded all of my clients after they were backing up to the server
and my "old" networker server was 2 weeks later.  All of the clients
reflect the current version and OS on the networker server.  A positive
comment! I don't know specifically when the update took place.
