Installing Managed System
Software on Microsoft Windows
Operating Systems
On Microsoft Windows, an autorun utility appears when you insert the Dell
Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD. This utility allows you
to choose the systems management software you want to install on your
system.
If the autorun program does not start automatically, use the setup program in
the SYSMGMT\srvadmin\windows directory on the Dell Systems
Management Tools and Documentation DVD. See the Dell Systems Software
Support Matrix for a list of operating systems currently supported.
NOTE: Use the Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD to
perform an unattended and scripted silent installation of the managed system
software. You can also install and uninstall the features from the command line.
Deployment Scenarios for Server Administrator
You can install Dell OpenManage Server Administrator in the following ways :
• Install the Server Administrator Web Server on any system (Dell
PowerEdge system, laptop, or desktop) and the Server Instrumentation on
another supported Dell PowerEdge system.
In this method, the Server Administrator Web Server performs the
function of a central web server and you can use it to monitor a number of
managed systems. Using this method reduces the Server Administrator
footprint on the managed systems.
• Continue to install the Server Administrator Web Server and the Server
Instrumentation on the same system.
