[a] If you are not using SQL Express, limit the maximum memory to 2 GB less than the total system memory and disable SQL analysis
and report services.
[b] Install the remote database on a system that supports the minimum recommended hardware for OpenManage Essentials.
NOTE: The recommended minimum hardware requirements for OpenManage Essentials on a domain controller are 8 GB
RAM, 8 cores processor, and a remote database.
NOTE: If Dell SupportAssist is installed along with OpenManage Essentials, you require 2 GB RAM and 2 cores in addition
to the minimum requirements described in the previous table. If you are using SQL Server Standard or Enterprise
Editions, the maximum SQL Server memory must be congured within SQL Server to prevent it from using the entire
system memory. It is recommended that you use a maximum of 4 GB for a 6 GB RAM.
