FSRM server 2008 compatible with server 2003?

I want to make fsrm client calls (dirquota quota list ....) from a windows
server 2008 box to dfs servers running on server 2003. This generates three
different errors which I'll copy below. This does work from fsrm on a
windows 2003 client server to the windows 2003 dfs servers.
Can this work or must the dfs servers be running on server 2008 also?
Naturally I have real values in the commands and responses below where I've
substituted XXX and YYY
************
dirquota quota list /path:XXX /RemoteYYY

The system event log has:
DCOM got error "2147746132" from the computer YYY attempting to activate
the server:
{F556D708-6D4D-4594-9C61-7DBB0DAE2A46

The application event log has:
File Server Resource Manager Service error: A critical component required by
the File Server Resource Manager Service is not registered. This might happen
if an error occurred during Windows setup, or if the computer does not have
the Windows Server 2008 or later version of FSRM installed. The error
returned from CoCreateInstance on class with CLSID
{f556d708-6d4d-4594-9c61-7dbb0dae2a46} and Name 'IFsrmSetting' on machine
'YYY' is 0x80040154, Class not registered .

The console shows this error:
Unable to connect to FSRM on computer \\YYY
This can happen if the remote computer does not have the Windows Server 2008
or later version of FSRM installed, or if a connection cannot be established
because it was blocked by Windows Firewall.

We have checked out the firewall and I believe it's set correctly. So I'm
left wondering if the problem is just incompatibility.

Thanks in advance for your help and sorry about the cross-post. I wasn't
getting replies from windows.file_system.

Helloo Gregg,

No, FSRM on w2k8 is not compartible to ow2k3.. The below post might shed
some light on this
