Hi J.

Did you ever get any resolution on this? 

I was in the same bind where in client mode there is no way to set the
preferred interface.  I ended up just leaving Cat2 as client, and on the
Verified Labs grading the script ended up marking it as correct.  The
bottom line it seems is that the switch may not be in client mode to set
the VTP preferred interface.

-VTPserver/client question

I just tried your suggestion, and it didn't have any effect.  My
output is below.  I guess I'm making a case to state that the only way
to truly meet the requirements, as stated, is to keep Cat2 as a
server.  It satisfies the condition where the "show vtp status"
displays the preferred interface, and it continues to act like a
client would, in terms of receiving VTP updates.

Cat2(config-if)#vtp int lo1
Cat2(config)#do sh vtp status
VTP Version                     : running VTP2
