Installing Managed System Software On Microsoft

Windows Operating Systems

On Microsoft Windows, an autorun utility is displayed when you insert the Dell EMC OpenManage Systems Management Tools and

Documentation software. This utility allows you to choose the systems management software you want to install on the system.

If the autorun program does not start automatically, use the autorun program from the DVD root or the setup program in the SYSMGMT

\srvadmin\windows directory on the Dell EMC OpenManage Systems Management Tools and Documentation software. See the Dell

EMC OpenManage Systems Software Support Matrix for a list of operating systems currently supported.

NOTE: Use the

Dell EMC OpenManage Systems Management Tools and Documentation

software to perform an

unattended and scripted silent installation of the managed system software. Install and uninstall the features from the

command line.

Installing Managed System Software On Microsoft

Windows Server and Microsoft Hyper-V Server

The Server Core installation option of the Microsoft Windows Server and Hyper-V Server operating system provides a minimal

environment for running specific server roles that reduce the maintenance and management requirements and the attack surface for

those server roles. A Windows Server or Hyper-V Server installation installs only a subset of the binaries that are required by the

supported server roles. For example, the Explorer shell is not installed as part of a Windows Server or Hyper-V Server installation. Instead,

the default user interface for a Windows Server or Hyper-V Server installation is the command prompt.

NOTE:

On Windows client operating systems, to install the systems management software successfully, log in using an

account which belongs to the Administrators group and must run the setup.exe using the option Run as administrator

from the right-click menu.

NOTE: Log in as a built-in Administrator, Domain Administrator, or user who is a part of Domain Admins and Domain

Users group, to install the systems management software on supported Microsoft Windows operating system. For more

information about user privileges, see the corresponding Microsoft Windows operating system Help.
