I asked:

> gradually roll over the boxes to dU4.0 and DCE2.0 and maintain
> interoperability with DCE1.32? I see in the SPD for DCE2.0
> statements that it works with DCE1.3b and DCE1.3b is supposed to be
> the same as DCE1.3 and patches for 1.32 (which I have installed) and
> 1.3a (which I have not). Do I need to install this 1.3a or can I
> safely forget about it? (What is this 1.3a anyway?)


The answer was:

"George W. Baltz" gwb_at_umd5.umd.edu said:

> 1.3.1 == 1.3a, 1.3.2 == 1.3b.

> We've just done such a rollover, with only one 3.2c/1.3b client
> machine left. That combo seems to work OK with 4.0/2.0 DCE servers.
> I think you may have problems/glitches with mixing servers, though.

> All in all, the DCE rollout here was an experience we won't forget!!
