Release Notes

Description: If you set the task start or end time to a time in Daylight Saving Time (DST) shift period, OpenManage Essentials
changes the task start or end time to the closest valid time. [165393]
Resolution: A workaround to eliminate the changing of start or end time is to set a valid start/end time.
Issue 12:
Description: By default, root login through SSH is not enabled on VMware ESX Servers. As a result, all the OpenManage
Essentials tasks that use the root account fail. To enable the SSH root login on the ESX Server, set the option
PermitRootLogin=YES in /etc/ssh/sshd_conf file. [174023]
Issue 13:
Description: The Server Administrator Deployment task requires dependent components (example libc++) to be installed on the
target systems running the Linux operating system. If these components are not installed, the task fails with the following error
message:
● omexec must be installed on the remote node for the task. See the help and ensure that
the remote node requirements are met before executing the task.
Issue 14:
Description: If the Log On account of DSM Essentials Task Manager or DSM Essentials Network Monitor services is
changed, the following user rights must be assigned for the Log On account:
● Adjust memory quotas for a process
● Replace a process level token

Resolution: To assign user rights to an account on the local computer:
1. From the Start menu, point to Administrative Tools and then click Local Security Policy.
2. In the Local Security Settings dialog box, double-click Local Policies, and then double-click User Rights Assignment.

Issue 15:
Description: While creating a Generic Command Line task, the Application requires interaction with desktop check box does
not work and the executable window is not visible when Essentials is installed on the Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2
system. The task runs the executable in the background. If Windows requires input, the task may hang and you may need to kill
the process for the task to continue.
Issue 16:
Description: After successfully running the Deploy Server Administrator task on the Linux server, if discovery still classifies the
server as Unknown, restart the Linux server and run the discovery again. The Linux server should start showing up under the
device tree.
Issue 17:
Description: When trying to run a remote server administrator command against some Linux targets, the Task Execution
History pane may show the task as complete even though, when the Execution Details pane is examined, the Execution
Summary states: The task is not supported for the target device.
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 configured, 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.
