Running A Warranty Retrieval Job
The warranty retrieval job configuration is similar between the wizard and from the Dell Management Center → Settings
option. The only difference is that the wizard supplies an option to run the warranty retrieval job immediately. After
running the wizard you can edit at anytime from the Dell Management Center → Settings → Warranty Schedule page.
You can run the Warranty Retrieval job now from the Job Queue → Warranty History page.
To schedule a warranty retrieval job:
1. In the Dell Management Center select Settings → Warranty Schedule.
2. In the Warranty Schedule window, click Edit.
3. To configure the schedule, do one of the following:
a) To run Warranty Schedules, click On Selected Days.
b) To not run Warranty Schedules, select Do not run inventory on Dell hosts.
4. If you selected On Selected Days, then do the following:
a) Select the check box next to each day of the week that you want to run the warranty jobs.
b) In the text box, enter the time in HH:MM format.
The time you enter is your local time. Calculate the time difference you need to run the warranty jobs at the
proper time.
