88 Installing Management Station Software
You can also choose to install, reinstall, and uninstall features with one
execution of the msiexec.exe program. An example is
msiexec.exe /i MgmtSt.msi ADDLOCAL=ADS REINSTALL=
RACMS REMOVE=BMC /qb
This command runs the installation for management station and simultaneously
installs Active Directory Snap-in Utility, reinstalls Remote Access Controller
management station, and uninstalls the Baseboard Management Controller
utility. This execution will be in an unattended and verbose mode.
Supported Management and Alerting Agents
With Dell OpenManage software, agent is a general term applied to the
software features of systems management instrumentation. Degrees of
support vary among agents. For example, IT Assistant automatically
discovers, displays, receives alerts from, and can perform actions on the
systems managed by Server Administrator, but IT Assistant can only receive
alerts from certain storage device agents. See the Dell OpenManage
IT Assistant User’s Guide for a list of agents supported by IT Assistant.
Upgrading IT Assistant After Migrating to Windows Server 2003
If a system with IT Assistant installed is migrated to Windows Server 2003
and then upgraded to a recent version of IT Assistant, a problem may occur
due to encryption differences between Windows Server 2003 and earlier
versions of Windows.
After an upgrade on a system that has been migrated to Windows Server 2003,
systems configured with the CIM protocol might no longer be discovered. If this
issue occurs, reset the password for the CIM user. In the IT Assistant user
interface, go to Discovery and Monitoring, select Ranges and right-click
Include Ranges. Click New Include Range to run the New Discovery Wizard,
where you can specify the new CIM user name in the CIM Configuration
window. See the IT Assistant online help for additional information.
