Thank you for the quick response. So that would lead into the logical next question. What would be the earliest client version that would work? I tried installing the 103.x client on that box but 103.x requires SystemD and this older box is still using SystemV. So is there a version of the client that is new enough to accept the new definition files but still old enough to install on a SystemV-based o/s?
