After installing OpenManage Essentials, if you reinstall the database application (which is used by OpenManage
Essentials) the OpenManage Essentials database is detached from the database application.
If you are installing OpenManage Essentials using "Administrators" group user, and UAC is enabled, the Prerequisites
installer window is blocked after the reboot. You have to allow setup to proceed with rest of the prerequisites
installation using the System tray icon.
If using the prerequisiteslink, SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1 does not install on the specific operating system version and
service pack, verify the SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1 support matrix. You need Windows Server 2008 x86 (SP2) to install SQL
Server 2008 R2 SP1.
If you have an older version of OpenManage Essentials installation prerequisite application installed on your
system and the application is not getting upgraded using the "Install all critical prerequisites" button or the
specific prerequisite URL, verify the support matrix of the specific application. You may have to uninstall the
previous version and then install the newer one recommended by OpenManage Essentials from its installer
prerequisites window.
