This check box only appears when the On Selected Days check box is selected.

Configuring the Deployment Credentials [Wizard]
Deployment credentials are used to securely communicate with a bare-metal system, using the iDRAC from initial
discovery until the end of the deployment process. Once deployment completes, the credentials are changed to those in
the connection profile matched to the bare-metal system from the Deployment wizard. If the deployment credentials are
changed, all newly discovered systems from that point on are provisioned with the new credentials; however, the
credentials on servers discovered prior to the change are not affected.
To configure the deployment credentials:
1. In the Deployment Credential window you can view or change the credentials. The bare metal server switches from
these credentials to those specified in the Connection Profile.
2. To change these credentials, under Credentials for Bare Metal Server Deployment, do the following:
a. In the User name text box, edit the user name.
b. In the Password text box, edit the password.
c. In the Verify Password, text box, confirm the password.
