Dell OpenManage IT Assistant
IT Assistant is a workgroup management solution for managing Dell clients and servers. It is not required to manage Dell
client systems, but it is an easy-to-use, browser-based management console that allows an administrator to monitor system
health at a glance. It has a robust discovery engine that will identify systems, place them in the appropriate group (Desktop,
Portable, Workstation, Server), and provide extensive detail on the configuration, OS, and hardware makeup of these
systems.
For information about IT Assistant, see the Dell OpenManage IT Assistant User's Guide available on the Dell Support website
at support.dell.com.
Dell OpenManage Client Instrumentation
OMCI is an application that ships standard on all OptiPlex™ systems and is optionally available for Dell Precision™ and
Latitude™. OMCI is based on industry-standard management protocols such as DMI and CIM, and it has support for SNMP.
OMCI allows DMI-, CIM-, or SNMP-compliant management consoles to collect inventory and configuration information and
receive proactive notification of potential fault conditions. OMCI monitors the system hardware and sends an alert when a
chassis has been compromised or a potential problem has been detected. Used in conjunction with IT Assistant, OMCI allows
customers to remotely perform remote BIOS updates and modify CMOS settings on a single Dell system or a group of Dell
systems.
For information about Dell OpenManage Client Instrumentation, see the Dell OpenManage Client Instrumentation User's Guide
available on the Dell Support website at support.dell.com.
