Owner's Manual

* Identical server names may produce errors in the second-level report
results. Drilling down into report results may produce errors if you
have two servers with identical names in a production environment.
* The Applicable Computers by Individual Update report may display duplicate
entries in the first tier report results. The duplicate entries are actually
different releases of the update that appear with the same name.
* To update Dell OS Driver pack using Dell Management Console using the
Lifecycle Controller on the managed node, download the catalog from
ftp.dell.com. Catalog downloaded using the offline option
(Server Update Utility catalog) does not contain the windows updates
that Dell Management Console requires.

* For Altiris agent based updates, Rollout Jobs fail to complete because
the final system reboot does not occur.
A server receiving updates from the Dell Management Console may fail to
reboot automatically if the Altiris Power Control task fails to execute.

* Internet Explorer Memory usage is high when you work with the
Dell Patch Management solution.
Internet Explorer allocates memory when a new window is opened and
does not free the entire memory when that window is closed. Eventually
this decreases the system performance.
Workaround: Close all browser windows and reopen Internet Explorer.

* SQL memory usage is high when working with Dell Patch Management solution.
The Dell Patch Management solution involves high use of SQL memory and
affects system performance. Dell recommends a system with minimum
4 GB RAM and the following SQL memory settings:
+-------------------------+--------------------------------------+
| Total System Memory | Maximum Memory Setting |
+-------------------------+--------------------------------------+
| 2 GB | 500 MB (minimum SQL Express memory |
| | is 256 MB) |
+-------------------------+--------------------------------------+
| 4 GB | 750 MB (minimum SQL Server memory is |
| | 512 MB) |
+-------------------------+--------------------------------------+
| 8 GB | 3.5 GB |
+-------------------------+--------------------------------------+
| 16 GB | 8 GB |
