Introduction
OpenManage Integration for Microsoft System Center (OMIMSSC) provides integrations into the System Center suite of
products that enable full lifecycle management of the Dell EMC servers by using the integrated Dell Remote Access Controller
(iDRAC) with Lifecycle Controller (LC).
OMIMSSC offers operating system deployment, hardware patching, firmware update, and server maintenance. With OMIMSSC,
you can either integrate with Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) for managing the Dell EMC servers in
traditional data center, or use the integration with Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) for managing
the Dell EMC servers in virtualized and cloud environments.
This guide provides information about using the product and all the use cases of the product.
For information on SCCM and SCVMM, see the Microsoft documentation.
