Release Notes
Administrator services are started after the installation or when Server Administrator services are started, by default after a
system restart. However, this issue is observed only on few servers.
Solution: Apply the latest Z-stream kernel patch on the system. The issue is resolved by the kernel rpm -
kernel-3.10.0-123.8.1.el7.x86_64.rpm.

• DF275424 and DF332775: Domain users unable to login to Windows MN from Linux Web Server.

– You can manage a Windows/Linux- based managed system remotely from a Windows-based Server Administrator Web
server.

Issues of Server Administrator on Microsoft Windows 2003 Operating Systems
• BITS194536: While trying to upgrade to OM 8.1 from OM 7.4.0.2 in systems running Microsoft Windows 2003 operating
system, if the upgrade fails with the error Error 1306. Another application has exclusive access to the file C:\WINDOWS
\invcol.tmp. Shut down all other applications, then click Retry do the following before upgrading again: End the invcol.exe
process in the Windows task manager utility and delete invcol.tmp from C:\Windows folder.
• 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:
– http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windowsserver2003/techno logies/security/ws03mngd/
04_s3cer.mspx
– 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:
– 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.
– 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.
• DF94201: When you double-click the Server Administrator icon on your desktop, a dialog box may appear, prompting you to
enter credentials in Microsoft Internet Explorer for certain settings. Two possible workarounds are available for this issue: You
can cancel the dialog box and enter the credentials to access Server Administrator, or enable SSO (Single Sign On) by changing
the browser settings.
To enable SSO on Internet Explorer:
a. Cancel the dialog box.
b. Go to Tools → Internet Options → Security → Trusted sites → Custom Level.
c. Under User Authentication Logon option, change the settings to Automatic logon with current user name and
password.
