that the user does not exist on the system. The list of users shown in Group Manager GUI is based on the current user list on the iDRAC
that is acting as the primary controller. It does not show all users for all iDRACs.

the group returns an error that the user is not deleted. If the user does not exist then it shows a successful deletion for that iDRAC. The

Configure Alerts
Use this section to configure e-mail alerts. By default alerting is disabled. However, you can enable the alerting anytime. A group job would
be created to apply the e-mail alert configuration to all the group servers. The status of group job can be monitored at
GroupManager >
Jobs page. Group manager email alert configures email alerts on all members. It sets the SMTP server settings on all members in the same
group. Each iDRAC is configured separately. Email configuration is not globally saved. Current values are based on the iDRAC that is acting
as a primary controller. Leaving a group does not reconfigure email alerts.
