Dell OpenManage version 4.5 also does not differentiate between the
Express, Workgroup, or Standard Editions. This issue is addressed in
Dell OpenManage version 5.0.
You can always refer to the Certificate of Authenticity (COA) label on
the side of the system to confirm what operating system edition was
installed on your system when you ordered it from Dell. If you
upgraded your operating system using a Dell supported upgrade
offering, the COA label should have been replaced with a new label
during the upgrade process.

When you reinstall an Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 x64 Edition
operating system using Dell OpenManage Server Assistant, you are
prompted to enter a Product ID and activate the Windows License.
The Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 x64 Edition operating system
uses System-Locked Preinstall (SLP) media, which does not require a
Product ID or Windows license activation. However, Dell
OpenManage version 4.5 media—which includes the
Server Assistant
CD—requires you to enter the Certificate of Authenticity (COA)
Product ID (PID) during the Server Assistant installation procedure,
and using the COA PID requires Windows license activation.
For Dell OpenManage 5.0 media, you are not required to enter a PID
during the Server Assistant installation procedure or activate the
software after the installation is completed.

The Quota Limit entry is not consistent.
The Quota entry is not reflected correctly in Windows Explorer. In an
Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 x64 Edition MMC, the quota limit
for a volume is set to 200MB, while Windows Explorer is set to
No Limit .
The MMC and Windows Explorer should reflect identical Quota Limit
information.
