Hi Andy!
I don't understand this.
On the FTP server I find two directories with 32-bit client code.
In
ftp://ftp.storsys.ibm.com/tivoli-storage-management/maintenance/client/v5r2/
Windows/Win32/LATEST/ one finds the 5.2.4 client which is only supported on
Windows 2000, 2003 and XP according to the readme.
In the directory
ftp://ftp.storsys.ibm.com/tivoli-storage-management/maintenance/client/v5r2/
Windows/WinNT/LATEST/ one finds a 5.1.6 client, while 5.1.7 is the most
current release 5.1...
(ftp://ftp.storsys.ibm.com/tivoli-storage-management/maintenance/client/v5r1
/Windows/WinNT/LATEST/)
When using a 5.3 server, should we use the 5.1.6 client in the 5r2 directory
or can we also use the most current 5.1.7 client from the 5r1 directory?
Kindest regards,
Eric van Loon

Additional info:

The Windows NT 4.0 operating system is no longer a supported client with
TSM version 5.3. However, NT 4.0 is a supported client in TSM 5.2 (though
with version 5.1 functionality). Since the clients shipped as part of 5.2
are supported with the 5.3 server, the NT 4.0 client is supported with the
5.3 server.

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
