* Changing time zone on the IT Assistant Management Station could
lead to fatal errors being displayed. This could happen if you have
date/time related data (for example, an Alert Filter) that is
applicable to a particular date and time, configured on one time
zone. If you change the time zone to another one that happens to
be observing daylight saving time, and, if the date-time
combination corresponding to your data is invalid, then launching
IT Assistant would result in the above error.
To recover from this error:
- change back the system time zone to the previous one
- edit the data values such that they would translate into valid
date and time combination in the other time zone
- change the system time zone and restart IT Assistant.

* When opening the IT Assistant UI, respond to the security
certificate challenge box and Microsoft User Access Control pop-up
messages within approximately 2 minutes; otherwise the UI will
time-out and fail to load. To correct this issue, close the current
UI and re-open it. [102193,163732]
* Power monitoring agent shows unknown status for devices if you
have selected only the Peak Amperage or Peak Power counters for the
task running on these devices. [171464]
* By default, root login through SSH is not enabled on VMware ESX
Servers. As a result, all IT Assistant tasks that use the root
account would fail. To enable the SSH root login on the ESX Server,
set the option "PermitRootLogin=YES" in "/etc/ssh/sshd_conf" file.

* For systems with a Trusted Computing Group (TCG) 1.2-compliant
Trusted Platform Module (TPM) chip, software updates for BIOS will
fail if all of the following are true:
- The Microsoft Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption feature is
enabled.
- The TPM feature is set (using BIOS) to ON with Preboot
Measurement.
For information about TPM security settings, see the "Dell
OpenManage Server Administrator Online Help" or the
"Dell OpenManage Server Administrator User's Guide" available
on the Dell Support website at "support.dell.com" and on the
appropriate media supplied

For software updates for BIOS to function, perform the following
steps:
1. Disable the Microsoft Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption feature.
For information on disabling this feature, see the Microsoft
documentation at "www.microsoft.com."
2. Update BIOS.
