You need to differentiate client system that uses IPA for identity
lookups and authentication and administrative station where you have
ipa-admintools package installed. It is not recommended to have this
package on the client side to be higher version than on the server. We
are currently fixing the issue for the client enrollment to work even if
you try to enroll later version of the ipa client with the earlier
version of the server but for ipa-admintools the general rule: upgrade
server first and then the client ipa-admintools package should continue
to apply.
