Release Notes
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.
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 selections 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 shows 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 are able to see the Task Targets. You can also 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.
