There was an issue when going from <= 5.0 client/server combos to > 5.0client/server, because a few of the APIs got updated in 5.0.1, and some things like Groups were stored and referenced slightly differently. Apart from that, the advice is sound. If both are at 5.1.2 or above (and if not, WHY not?), upgrade the clients before the server if the rollout cannot be better coordinated.

** I know that using a 5.x user tool against a 6.x server will cause issues with passwords. It seems that when a password field is set it isn't decoded properly, so the next time the user record is saved, the new, unknown password is saved to the record. Not sure if this is replicated in 7.x but I'd assume so.

I always thought it was better to use an older client against a new server (5.1.2 client against 6.3 server) not vice versa. Is this not true?
