The Dell Client Management Pack version 5.0 enables OpsMgr to discover and monitor the status of Dell Client systems, on a
defined network segment. This improved representation, which includes the receipt of failure and pre-failure alerts, allows
you to assess, respond to, and ensure the availability of Dell Client monitored in the OpsMgr environment. In addition to
improved availability, the management pack enhances the ability to monitor and manage the hardware in a single
management solution.
