Release Notes

Issues for Server Administrator Running on Microsoft Windows 2003 Operating Systems
 You can ignore the following warning message: A provider, omprov, has been registered
in the WMI namespace, Root\CIMV2\Dell, to use the LocalSystem account. This account is
privileged and the provider may cause a security violation if it does not impersonate user
requests correctly. This can be ignored as the Managed Object Format file used to register
the provider ("omprov") states that the provider only reads the inventory data; it does not
perform any functions on the server that require user impersonation.
 When running Server Administrator, crypt32.dll errors may be written to the operating
system Application Event log. This issue occurs due to the "Update Root Certificates"
component, which is installed by default as part of Windows Server 2003 installation. For
more information on this component and reasons for errors, see the following articles on
the Microsoft website:
o "http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windowsserver2003/
o technologies/security/ws03mngd/04_s3cer.mspx"
o "http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;317541"
 There are two options to avoid these errors from being written to the Event log:
o Uninstall the "Update Root certificates" component as described in the first
knowledge base article mentioned above.
NOTE: This procedure may affect other programs as discussed in the article.
o Install the Server Administrator certificate as a trusted certificate.
NOTE: This procedure may still prompt you to accept the certificate when you log in to
Server Administrator, but will prevent the crypt32 errors from being logged to the Event
log.

 DF103661: Microsoft Windows Server 2008 - Alert Action -> Execute Application
For security reasons, Microsoft Windows Server 2008 is configured to not to allow
interactive services. When a service is installed as an interactive service on Microsoft
Windows Server 2008, the operating system logs an error message in the Windows
System log about the service being marked as an interactive service. When you use Server
Administrator to configure Alert Actions for an event, you can specify the action to
"execute an application". For interactive applications to be executed properly for an Alert
Action, the DSM Server Administrator Data Manager Service must be configured as an
interactive service. Examples of interactive applications comprise applications with a
Graphical User Interface (GUI) or that prompt users for input in some way such as the
"pause" command in a batch file.
