Release Notes
• You may not have appropriate privileges on the Server Administrator GUI if you:
o Belong to an Active Directory group that is part of another group.
o Try to launch Server Administrator using the desktop icon when single sign- on is enabled.
• Broadcom architecture has a split driver implementation - evbdx.sys and bxnd60x.sys.
o evbdx.sys is the Virtual Bus Driver (VBD); also called the Base Driver
o bxnd60x.sys is the driver for the Broadcom NDIS device.
Microsoft Device Manager reports both the drivers, but Server Administrator displays only the driver
details specific to the VBD device.
• BITS080169: Documentation for Power Supply alerts mentions only AC power supply, but the alerts
are valid for both AC and DC power supplies.
• BITS054513: On a system running Windows, while running CLI commands using telnet from a
system running Linux, the telnet session may terminate if the amount of data being transferred is
huge.
Workaround: Redirect the CLI output to a text file and use the “type” command to view the output
• DF551365: Server Administrator does not display the IP Address for Network Adapters that are used
for virtual machines
Description: In a Microsoft Hyper-V environment, the Server Administrator Network page may
indicate network adapters that are connected to a network and display Ethernet
• statistics but, the IP address is displayed as 'Unknown'. This is because Hyper-V virtualizes adapters
that are bonded to its virtual switch. The Server Administrator only discovers physical network
adapters and displays their IP addresses that are fully-controlled by the operating system and not
by hypervisors.
• BITS080696: Windows "No Instance(s) Available" is reported for Dell_CMApplication class data To
get the data for Dell_CM* wmi classes query, first query any one of the Dell_* classes.
• BITS129139: On systems running Windows operating system, the command prompt closes if you
run the following commands on any Dell PowerEdge systems:
omconfig system platformevents event=systempowerfail action=powerreduction
omconfig system platformevents event=systempowerwarn action=powerreduction
Note: The commands are supported only on 10th generation of PowerEdge servers.
Limitations of Server Administrator 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/techno
logies/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.
