Prerequisites:

• You must be logged in to Microsoft Windows Admin Center as a Gateway Administrator.

• You must have installed the Dell EMC OpenManage Integration with Microsoft Windows Admin Center (OMIMSWAC) extension. For

more information about the installation procedure, see the Dell EMC OpenManage Integration with Microsoft Windows Admin Center

Installation Guide at Dell.com/OpenManageManuals.

• Server connections are added in Microsoft Windows Admin Center. For more information about adding server connections, see

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/manage/windows-admin-center/understand/windows-admin-center.

To manage PowerEdge servers:

1. In the upper left corner of Windows Admin Center, select Server Manager from the drop-down menu.

2. From the list, select a server connection, and then click Connect.

NOTE: If you have not entered the server credentials while adding the connection, you must enter the credentials

when you are connecting to the server by selecting "Manage as".

3. In the left pane of the Microsoft Windows Admin Center, under EXTENSIONS, click Dell EMC OpenManage Integration.

4. Select:

• Health—to view the health status of the target node components. A status icon represents the overall health status of the target

node. See Health status—Supported target node components on page 11.

• Inventory—to view the detailed hardware inventory information of the target node components. See Hardware inventory—

Supported target node components on page 11.

• Update—to view compliance report and to update components to baseline version. See Update PowerEdge servers and nodes of

HCI and Failover clusters on page 17.

using the OpenManage Integration. See View iDRAC details of the PowerEdge servers and nodes of HCI and Failover clusters on

page 16.
