Release Notes

2. Edit your host file to resolve the IP of the OpenManage Essentials server. The host file is located at
%windir%\System32\drivers\etc\hosts.
3. Add the IP of the OpenManage Essentials server to the Local intranet sites in Internet Explorer.
NOTE: You cannot remove the certificate errors unless you use the fully qualified name of the
OpenManage Essentials server.
If a certificate error is displayed:
• Contact your system administrator to add the OpenManage Essentials certificate published to the
Trusted Root Certificate Authorities and Trusted Publishers on domain systems.
• Add the OpenManage Essentials certificate manually to your Trusted Root Certificate Authorities and
Trusted Publishers certificate stores using Internet Explorer.
Exporting data from a grid in OpenManage Essentials using Internet Explorer 10: Under certain
circumstances, when you attempt to export data from OpenManage Essentials by right-clicking and
selecting the Export menu item from any grid control, if you select the .csv format, the exported data is
actually saved in
html format, even though the file generated is a .csv suffixed file. This behavior seems
to be related to the security settings associated with Internet Explorer 10. If you reset the security settings
to the default set, this behavior is no longer observable. [31647]

Remote Management (WinRM) currently installed on the system to version 2.0 using the Windows
updates.
