Migration Compatibility

Because HP DCE 1.6, clients and servers are binary compatible with HP DCE 1.5 and previous releases, your systems can be migrated to HP DCE 1.6 in any order over a period of time. However, do not move the Security Registry to "dce1.1" mode before all your security servers have been updated to HP DCE 1.6.

DCM (SAM DCE Configuration Manager) and the dce_config utility can be used to configure a mixed-version cell.

Because of minor changes to the dce_config utility at HP DCE 1.4, scripts that were written to use the HP DCE 1.2, 1.2.1, or 1.3.1 dce_config may have to be modified to work with HP DCE 1.4 and later releases of dce_config.
