I created a custom folder in Windows Event Viewer, but the
LC logs are not replicated in my custom folder. What do I
have to do now to replicate the LC logs?
Ensure to close the Windows Event Viewer after creating the custom folder. Open the Windows Event Viewer again to view
the replicated LC logs.
I chose custom install option from the Graphical User
Interface during iDRAC Service Module installation and
disabled a feature, but I am not able to enable the feature
using any of the other interfaces. How do I enable the
feature again?
On systems running Microsoft Windows operating system, a feature that is enabled using the installer and disabled using any
interface other than the installer, can only be enabled using the same interface or the installer in Graphical User Interface mode.
For example, you may not be able to enable a feature using the RACADM CLI commands, that was disabled from the Graphical
User Interface during iDRAC Service Module installation.
