Introduction to OMIMSSC
This document is the unified user's guide which provides all the information related to usage, installation, and best
practices of OMIMSSC.
OpenManage Integration for Microsoft System Center (OMIMSSC) is delivered as an appliance with integration for the
Microsoft System Center suite of products. OMIMSSC enables full lifecycle management of Dell EMC PowerEdge servers
by using integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) with Lifecycle Controller (LC).
OMIMSSC offers operating system deployment, Dell EMC HCI Solutions for Microsoft Windows server, hardware patching,
firmware update, and maintenance of servers and modular systems. Integrate OMIMSSC with Microsoft Endpoint Configuration
Manager (MECM) previously known as System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) for managing the Dell PowerEdge
servers in traditional data center, integrate OMIMSSC with Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) for
managing The Dell PowerEdge servers in virtual and cloud environments.
For information about MECM, SCVMM, and SCCM brand name changes see the Microsoft documentation.
