If the issue persists, there may be an issue with the DNS server resolving the name of the OpenManage Essentials server. To resolve
the DNS server issue:
1. Contact your system administrator and add the OpenManage Essentials system name added to the DNS server.
2. Edit your host le to resolve the IP of the OpenManage Essentials server. The host le is located at %windir%
\System32\drivers\etc\hosts.
3. Add the IP of the OpenManage Essentials server to the Local intranet sites in Internet Explorer.
NOTE: You cannot remove the certicate errors unless you use the fully qualied name of the OpenManage Essentials
server.
If a certicate error is displayed:
• Contact your system administrator to add the OpenManage Essentials certicate published to the Trusted Root Certicate
Authorities and Trusted Publishers on domain systems.
• Add the OpenManage Essentials certicate manually to your Trusted Root Certicate Authorities and Trusted Publishers
certicate stores using Internet Explorer.
Exporting data from a grid in OpenManage Essentials using Internet Explorer 10: Under certain circumstances, when you attempt to
export data from OpenManage Essentials by right-clicking and selecting the Export menu item from any grid control, if you select
the .csv format, the exported data is actually saved in html format, even though the le generated is a .csv suxed le. This
behavior seems to be related to the security settings associated with Internet Explorer 10. If you reset the security settings to the
default set, this behavior is no longer observable. [31647]
