Server operating systems, Server Administrator supports the SNMP systems
management standard.
Server Administrator adds considerable security to these systems management
standards. All set operations for attributes (for example, changing the value of
an asset tag) must be performed with Dell OpenManage IT Assistant while
logged in with the required authority. As a result of the added security that
IT Assistant offers for systems management, IT Assistant is the only
management console that you can use to change attributes.
