Known issues on Microsoft Windows operating

system

• You can configure the Windows Remote Management (WinRM) Listener using a server authenticating certificate. If the server

authenticating certificate is not available, iDRAC Service module will force-enable the WinRM listener using a self-signed certificate.

To configure the Windows Remote Management (WinRM) listener, you can create a self-signed certificate using the PowerShell

cmdlet New-SelfSignedCertificate from Microsoft Windows Server 2012 or later. In operating systems prior to Microsoft

Windows Server 2012 you cannot create a self-signed certificate due to the absence of PowerShell cmdlet.

Tracking ID: NA.

• While uninstalling "iDRAC Service Module" a popup is displayed if the Firefox browser is opened. The popup prompts that Firefox

browser needs to be closed before continuing the uninstallation. Close the Firefox browser and click the "Retry" option to continue the

uninstallation.
