Release Notes
This occurs when the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator on the target devices does not properly report the information needed
for OpenManage Essentials to determine if the Remote Server Administrator command can run on the system(s). This may mean
that OMSA is not properly congured, is in an unknown state, or needs to be upgraded.
Issue 18:
Description: If you are a super-user on a system and you do not have full permissions to this path: ~InstalPath\SysMgt\Essentials
\SystemUpdate\Packages
, you must give the super-user full access to that path before running the OM-Deploy task.
Issue 19:
Description: If a remote task is scheduled to run periodically and system time is changed to a future time, an exception may be seen
in the console.
Resolution: To resolve this issue, disable all periodic tasks, stop the DSM Essentials Task Manager service, then change the system
time. After time has been changed, start the DSM Essentials Task Manager service, and edit each period task schedule.
Issue 20:
Description: If the Remote task is running, it cannot be deleted from Task Execution History pane, though it can be deleted by
right-clicking the task from Task Tree pane
Issue 21:
Description: For Deploy Server Administrator Task, after the task is created, the task status may say pending while the task icon
shows the Task complete. This means that the Deploy Server Administrator package i.e msi or msp has been downloaded
successfully though the task execution is still pending. Once the task starts execution the 'task complete' icon will change
accordingly.
Issue 22:
Description: For Remote Task and System Update multiple selection of task is not supported.
Issue 23:
Description: Even though a task is Run Now task, or if the task does not have a valid schedule associated with it, right-clicking the
task in the left side task pane will show the Activate Task Schedule option. Though, activating the schedule will not do anything as
there is no schedule associated with the task.
Issue 24:
Description: If you activate schedule for cloned sample tasks without adding targets, it may display a message for entering
credentials for targets since the schedule cannot be activated without valid targets. To avoid this message, add valid targets for the
cloned task before activating the task schedule
Issue 25:
Description: In view mode of the Task, you will be able to see the Task Targets. You will also be able to expand the tree to view sub-
targets. Though, any selection made here is not saved, this has been made viewable so that you know all the targets associated with
the task.
Issue 26:
Description: Sometimes when editing the remote task the target selection is not seen. To see the targets, cancel or close the edit
window and re-edit the task to see the target selection.
Issue 27:
Description: Users can select the type of OpenManage Server Administrator packages depending on whether they want to perform
an upgrade (major or minor) or clean install of OpenManage Server Administrator using OpenManage Essentials.
• Use .msi package for clean install /major upgrade/minor upgrade of OpenManage Server Administrator
• Use .msp package for minor upgrade
• Use .exe package for major/minor upgrade
Issue 28:
Description: OpenManage Server Administrator deployment on XenServer: OpenManage Server Administrator cannot be deployed
on XenServer from OpenManage Essentials. OpenManage Server Administrator needs to be installed manually on the managed
node. Dell OpenManage is available for XenServer as a Supplemental Pack. The supplemental pack can be downloaded from
