Andy,

I tested a V2.1.0.6 Win NT client with a couple of different levels of V3 NT
server and found that the ADSM server is the major factor in Y2K compatibility.
Server V3.1.1.3 had problems with Y2K leap year processing that was fixed in
V3.1.2.0.  A client change was not required.

The bottom line regarding ADSM client Y2K compatibility is, as IBM has said for
awhile (since V1, I think), if the underlying client operating system is Y2K
compatible, pretty much all versions of the ADSM client will also be compatible.

I have a more general question.  I have looked at the Y2k pages, and I
see mention of the ADSM server Y2K readiness, but nothing for the
clients.  Now, I am sure that my version 3 clients are ok, but I was
wondering what the Y2K readiness for the version 2 clients is?  I still
have some boxes running version 2.  If anyone knows, please let me know.
Thanks.
