* If an alert storm is sending more than 5 traps a second to IT
Assistant, it could take IT Assistant several minutes to process
all the alerts. New alerts that are received in the interim will
not be displayed in the UI until all of the alerts in the storm
are processed.
* Pressing “Next,” “Previous,” or “Refresh” in the "Alerts" page of
the UI while a constant stream of alerts are being processed by
IT Assistant may cause the counters in the "Alerts" page of the UI
to fall short. To resolve the alert count problem, click "Refresh"
when the constant stream of alerts has subsided. The refresh does
not impact any alert actions. (134862)
* When creating or updating a task, the stamp for the creation or
update time is that of the IT Assistant UI. The "Last Run Time"
displayed on the summary report, however, is the time of the
IT Assistant Services system. If there is a significant variation
in the UI and Services system time, it is possible that a
scheduled task may not execute or show that it was executed before
it was created. (137997)
* For Network Interface Card (NIC) information on systems, IT
Assistant uses the operating system's provider(s) to retrieve
data rather than Dell OpenManage Server Administrator. This
behavior can result in discrepancies in reporting NIC information
between IT Assistant and Server Administrator. For example:
1. On Linux systems, adapters may be named differently between IT
Assistant and Server Administrator. For example, IT Assistant
may report a NIC adapter as "eth0," while Server Administrator
shows the actual manufacturer name of the NIC.
2. If more than one NIC card is not configured with an IP address,
IT Assistant may only show one of the cards with an IP address
of 0.0.0.0.
3. IT Assistant may not report disabled NIC adapters.
* IT Assistant may not allow the user to log in if the host
name/domain name contains non-standard characters. Standard
characters include letters (A-Z, a-z), digits (0-9), and hyphen
(-). For more information on this issue, see the Microsoft
article at
"http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;153529."

* During discovery, if a device is discovered using “host name,”
and if its IP Address changes later, IT Assistant will display two
devices after the next discovery cycle. One device will display the
old IP address and status as "Power Down," while the other will
display the new IP Address. This problem is likely to affect
