Yes. A single workstation can have the client tools for both Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 and Windows HPC Server 2008 installed. The client tools are specific to the version of Windows HPC product – Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 or Windows HPC Server 2008. The Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 client utilities can only be used to interact with a cluster that is running Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003. The Windows HPC Server 2008 client utilities can only be used to interact with a Windows HPC Server 2008 cluster. For more information about compatibility between Windows HPC Server 2008 and Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003, see Windows HPC Server 2008: V1/V2 Compatibility (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=123634).
