Issue 18:
Description
When you create a custom group you have the ability to select a pre-defined device search query or the
ability to select individual devices and groups to form your newly created custom group.
If you select a device search query as your basis for your custom group content and you subsequently
decide to modify the device search query, the results of the modified device search query is not reflected
in the custom group. You will have to delete the custom group and recreate it using the newly modified
device search query group.
If you create a custom group using a device search query, you subsequently modify the device search
query and then attempt to edit the custom group that used the device search query in question, the
original device search query group gets deleted. So, once you create a custom group based on a device
search query, do not edit it. If you need to modify it, delete it first and then re-create it.
Issue 19:
Description
When a Dell client device such as Dell OptiPlex, Dell Latitude, or Dell Precision is discovered, the Agents
table in device details page displays the internal version of the Dell OpenManage Client Instrumentation
(OMCI) agent instead of actual OMCI version installed in the device. Internal product version may be
different from the actual installer version. For example, if OMCI version 8.1.0 is installed, OpenManage
Essentials displays the version as 7.0.
