Installation manual

Installing Dell OpenManage Essentials

Note: If the SQL server is not present on the system where OME is being installed a warning message is

displayed, with a link to install SQLEXPRESS locally. If you ignore this warning message, then while

launching the Essentials installation you will be asked whether you want to install on local or remote

database. If you want to go with installing Essentials on a local database, then select “Yes”. On doing so,

SQLEXPRESS will be installed first with the SQLEXPRESSOME instance name. If you wish to install

Essentials on a remote database, please select “No”. On doing so, the installer will follow the Custom

installation path where you have to select a remote database for installing Essentials. Please refer the

following figure:
