Configuring a Supported Web Browser
For a list of supported Web browsers, see "Supported Operating Systems and
Web Browsers."
NOTE: Ensure that the Web browser is configured to bypass the proxy server for
local addresses.

Use Regional and Language Options in the Windows Control Panel to view

Microsoft Active Directory
If you use Active Directory service software, you can configure it to control
access to your network. Dell has modified the Active Directory database to
support remote management authentication and authorization. Dell
OpenManage Server Administrator, IT Assistant, and Dell Remote Access
Controllers, can interface with Active Directory. With this tool, you can add
and control users and privileges from one central database. If you use Active
Directory to control user access to your network, see "Using Microsoft Active
Directory."
Configuring the SNMP Agent
Dell OpenManage software supports the SNMP systems management
standard on all supported operating systems. The SNMP support may or may
not be installed depending on your operating system and how the operating
system was installed. An installed supported systems management protocol
standard, such as SNMP, is required before installing Dell OpenManage
software. See "Installation Requirements" for more information.
You can configure the SNMP agent to change the community name, enable
Set operations, and send traps to a management station. To configure your
SNMP agent for proper interaction with management applications such as
IT Assistant, perform the procedures described in the following sections.
NOTE: The default SNMP agent configuration usually includes an SNMP
community name such as public. For security reasons, change the default SNMP
community names. For information about changing SNMP community names, see
