Installing Managed System Software on Microsoft Windows Operating Systems 95
NOTE: When Multilingual User Interface (MUI) is set to non-Unicode languages
like Simplified Chinese or Japanese, set the system locale to Simplified Chinese or
Japanese. This enables the Prerequisite Checker messages to be displayed. This is
because any non-Unicode application will run only when the system locale
(also called Language for non-Unicode Programs on XP) is set to match the
application's language.
NOTE: See the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator Compatibility Guide or the
Server Administrator readme_ins.txt file for the latest, detailed list of the Server
Administrator Services that are supported on each supported operating system.
System Requirements
Server Administrator must be installed on each managed system. You can
then manage each system running Server Administrator locally or remotely
through a supported Web browser.
The setup program invokes the Prerequisite Checker on the DVD to
determine if the system requirements are met. (For more information see the
section titled "Prerequisite Checker.")
