Scenario Two — Retasking a System
You are the systems administrator for a large company. Your group requires
an additional system to support a new financial analysis package, and you
have access to a Dell system that is no longer in use from another department
within the company. Because the Dell system has an older operating system
installed on it, you plan to upgrade the operating system before installing the
new financial application. You also plan to install the most current BIOS,
firmware, and drivers offered by Dell, as well as install the Dell
OpenManage™ Server Administrator systems management software.
To prepare the system to run the company's new financial software, you
perform the following general steps:
1
Use the Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD that
came with the Dell system to install the most current version of the
Windows Server 2003 operating system.
NOTE: The Dell OpenManage systems management software kit is now
available on a single DVD titled Dell Systems Management Tools and
Documentation.
