Yes, you're fine.
The 5.1 client was the last one issued for WIN NT 4.0.
You should have found a 5.1 client CD in your 5.2 CD bundle, just for
the WinNT machines.
It's still supported, AFAIK.

Subject: Server 5.2 with 5.1 clients?


Hello all, 

We have a TSM server version 5.2.3.2 and have been upgrading clients to
be on the 5.2 client level and found that our old WinNT 4.0 servers are
not compatible with this version level.  Will these older clients
(version 5.1.5.0) be able to backup\restore and archive\retrieve to a
5.2 server properly?  If so, is this something that is guaranteed by
IBM, or merely a loophole that works?

Thanks,
Rob
