W2K is known as NT 5.0 to TSM.  Do a "q node blah f=d"
for your client node on TSM server and see what it comes up
as.  Haven't  had any XP clients yet to see what it is known as.

Does this problem only occur with WinXP and Win2K clients?  What about
Win9x and WinNT?

Either I don't have any Win2K/WinXP clients, or TSM does not set the
platform to Win2k/WinXP?  Are these OS's also known by some version
number
of NT?
