click the task under Task Execution History.
Issue 8:
Description: When OpenManage Essentials is installed with a remote database server, the database connection may be lost
(due to local network failures, database server reboot, and so on). If this happens, the tasks may no longer run as scheduled.
When observed, normal operation can be restored by restarting the OpenManage Essentials Windows services: DSM Essentials
Network Monitor and DSM Essentials Task Manager. [498134]
Issue 9:
Description: Remote Server Administrator command line task may not respond for Server Administrator running on Microsoft
Windows Server 2008 and Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2.
To enable the successful functioning of remote Server Administrator CLI and software updates/deploy features, ensure the
following (applicable to Microsoft Windows only):
● The managed system and the management station must be on the same domain or there should be a trust relationship
between the two domains.
● If you have a Windows Firewall configured on the management station or the managed system, make the following
configuration changes to enable remote Server Administrator CLI and software updates to work successfully.
Management Station:
1. Open TCP port 135.
2. Add the application omremote.exe (located in Essentials\bin) to the Firewall exception list.
Managed System:
● If you have the Windows firewall configured, enable remote administration by running the following command in the
command prompt:
○ "netsh firewall set service RemoteAdmin"

Issue 10:
Description: When creating or updating a task, the stamp for the creation or update time is that of the OpenManage Essentials

significant variation in the UI and Services system time, it is possible that a scheduled task may not execute or show that it was
executed before it was created. [137997]
