Frequently Asked Questions 119
For clients/workstations, Server Administrator is not installed, so CIM
discovery is used when the target is running the OpenManage Client
Instrumentation.
For many other devices such as network printers, the standard is still
SNMP to communicate with (primarily discover) the device.
Devices such as EMC storage have proprietary protocols. Some
information about this environment can be gathered from looking at the
ports used tables in the OpenManage documentation.
9 Are there any plans for SNMP v3 support?
No, there are no plans for SNMP v3 support in this release.
10 Will an Underscore character in the domain name cause Server Admin
login issues?
Yes, an underscore character in the domain name is invalid. All other
special characters (except the hyphen) are invalid too. You should use only
case-insensitive alphabets and numerals.
11 How will checking/unchecking the 'Active Directory' on the login page of
Server Administrator impact privilege levels?
If you do not select the Active Directory check box, you will only have
access that is configured in the Microsoft Active Directory. You will not be
able to log in using the Dell Extended Schema Solution in Microsoft®
Active Directory. This solution enables you to provide access to Server
Administrator; allowing you to add/control Server Administrator users and
privileges to existing users in your Active Directory software. For more
information see "Using Microsoft Active Directory" in the
Dell
OpenManage Server Administrator Installation Guide
