George,
I was using the 4.2.1.0 NW client and the SMDR/TSA that came with SP3 for NW
5.1. After going to 4.2.1.24 client and TSA5up7, a lot of my TSM error
messages and performance problems went away. I am too scared of Beta files,
but I have about 40 NW 5.1 servers running it and no burps from these
SMDR/TSA files yet. Sugguest you try them out on a few non-critical systems
and then go roll them out.
