Set the Dell Server Connection Retry Interval
To set the interval that the SED client attempts to contact the Dell Server when it is unavailable to
communicate with the SED client, set the following value on the client computer:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\DellMgmtAgent\Parameters
CommErrorSleepSecs (DWORD Value)=300
This value is the number of seconds the SED client waits to attempt to contact the Dell Server if it is
unavailable to communicate with the SED client. The default is 300 seconds (5 minutes).

Administrator login is integrated with Active Directory to simplify the process of managing administrators
and to allow you to leverage your existing user authentication infrastructure. Administrators are
assigned roles that define what level of access each administrator is allowed. For example, some
administrators may only be allowed to implement help desk assisted recovery while others have full
access to edit security policies. You can assign administrator roles to Active Directory groups so you
can easily change the level of administrator access users have with a simple change to AD group
membership. Non-domain users can be granted reporting-only access via Compliance Reporter.
