Release Notes

Description: OpenManage Essentials launches in Internet Explorer even if any other browser is set as the

default browser. [35491]

Issue 3:

Description: OpenManage Essentials does not launch or displays an exception when the number of

connections to the OpenManage Essentials website is limited in IIS.

Resolution: The OpenManage Essentials console requires constant communication with the web server

to ensure that the data is up-to-date always. The communication between the console and the web

server is performed utilizing web method calls in a multi-threaded environment. As such, multiple,

simultaneous connections to the web server are required in order for OpenManage Essentials to operate

properly. As a general rule, ensure that your web server is configured for a minimum of 50 active

connections.

Issue 4:

Description: When launching OpenManage Essentials, the following error is displayed:

Client Logon credentials not authorized error. [31507]

Resolution: Restart the DSM Essentials Host service.

Issue 5:

Description: OpenManage Essentials does not launch when the IP address of the remote database is

changed. [31801]

Resolution: Reinstall OpenManage Essentials and target the existing remote database with the new IP

address.

Discovery and Inventory

The processor count in OpenManage Essentials differs for managed systems that contain processors with

multiple cores or HyperThreading enabled. The count differs based on whether the managed system is

discovered using the CIM or SNMP protocol. The systems discovered using SNMP report physical

processors, and the systems discovered using CIM report logical processors.

Issue 1:

Description: In the OpenManage Essentials GUI, if you attempt to create a discovery range with an IP

address ending in .0, the following error message is displayed: The last octet cannot be 0.

Depending on the subnet mask, an IP address ending in

.0 is valid for a device. [48781]

To workaround this issue, import a .csv file with a device IP ending in .0. OpenManage Essentials

discovers and classifies the device properly using this method.

Issue 2:

Description: If you create a new custom device group with modular servers, and perform another

discovery, all the server objects in that group are lost. [49224]
