Frequently Asked Questions 155
Is the time shown during installation/uninstallation by Windows Installer
Services is accurate?
No. During installation/uninstallation, the Windows Installer Service may
display the time remaining for the current task to complete. This is only an
approximation by the Windows Installer Engine based on varying factors.
Can I launch my installation without running the Prerequisite Checker?
How do I do that?
Yes, you can. For example, you can run the MSI of the managed system
software, directly from the
SYSMGMT\srvadmin\Windows\SystemsManagement. In general, it is not a
good idea to bypass the prerequisite information as there could be important
information that you would not know otherwise.
How do I know what version of systems management software is installed on
the system?
Go to Start
 Settings  Control Panel  Add/Remove programs and select
Dell OpenManage Server Administrator. Select the link for support
information.
Do I need to reboot the system after upgrading the Dell OpenManage?
Upgrade may require a reboot if the files to be upgraded are in use. This is a
typical Windows installer behavior. It is recommended that you reboot the
system when prompted.
Where can I see the Server Administrator features that are currently
installed on my system?
See Windows Add/Remove Programs to find out what Server Administrator
features are currently installed.
