• DF330800: Server Administrator Web server local user login fails on the Windows 2008 R2 Managed Node. When a Windows 2008 R2
Managed Node is added to a domain, logging in from any Server Administrator Web Server to that Windows 2008 R2 Managed Node
will fail with local user or local power-user credentials. Only the credentials of a local Administrator or Domain user will work, with a
prerequisite that all required winrm configurations have been applied.
Issues of Server Administrator on Microsoft Windows 2012 Operating
Systems
• BITS068231: On Windows Server 2012 with Server Administrator (32-bit), Base Memory Address and IRQ values are not available
for any Network Interface Cards.
Issues of Server Administrator on All Supported Operating Systems
• BITS107804: On PowerEdge R210 II and T110 II servers, clearing the Shutdown OS First check box and performing a reboot using
the ‘Reboot’ option does not reboot the servers. After performing these steps if you refresh the Page, the options on the Remote
Shutdown page are not displayed.
• On Dell PowerEdge T110 II systems, the following Server Administrator BIOS settings are not consistent with the F2 BIOS setup
settings:
○ Watchdog timer: Server Administrator displays the option as disabled, but F2 BIOS allows to change the setting.
○ Embedded Video Controller: Server Administrator provides options to enable or disable, but in F2 BIOS the option is grayed out.
○ TPM Security: Server Administrator does not allow to change the settings, but F2 BIOS allows to change the settings.
○ System Profile State: Server Administrator does not allow to make changes, but F2 BIOS allows to make the changes.
○ Memory Testing: Server Administrator does not support this feature, but F2 BIOS supports this feature.
○ SRIOV option: Server Administrator does not display this information, but F2 BIOS displays this feature.
• Due to non-availability of resources, inventory collector may terminate unexpectedly and restart. If this occurs, the folder C:\Temp
\invcol may be left as an artifact. The presence of this folder does not affect the functionality of the inventory collection. The
folder can be deleted if required.
• After installing Server Administrator from the command prompt, typing an omreport or mconfig command from the same prompt
can cause an error. Open a new command prompt window and type commands.
• If the command log page in the Server Administrator GUI displays an error message indicating that the XML is malformed, you must
clear the command log from the CLI using the omconfig system cmdlog action=clear command
• After a Reset to Defaults operation of the Integrated Remote Access Controller, the first user configuration, operation fails if it is a
single-user configuration item (such as enabling or disabling a user or changing user name). Always change a combination of two-user
configuration items (such as enabling or disabling a user and changing user name) concurrently during your first configuration
operation.
• While typing the command omreport system version -outc <filename>, ensure that you specify an absolute path name for the
output file; else, the output file is empty. For example, c:\out.txt.
• Typing omreport system esmlog/alertlog/cmdlog -fmt tbl command on the CLI can result in XML parsing errors if the size of the
log is large. Use the GUI or the omreport system esmlog/alertlog/cmdlog CLI command to view the contents of the log.
• For complex omconfig CLI commands that contain multiple set commands in one command line, the CLI may report a success status
for the command even if a part of the command failed. To avoid this issue, run only one command per command line. The current
settings can be confirmed by performing the corresponding omreport command.
• Some complex omconfig CLI commands that contain multiple set operations have been modified to avoid the above problem. While
running a CLI command if the message, Error! Illegal combination of parameters is displayed, modify your command into several
simpler commands. Each command should change only one setting.
• When running Server Administrator on a system with a traditional Chinese operating system, the application pages are displayed in
simplified Chinese. To view the Server Administrator pages in English, go to your browser language preference page and change the
language to English.
• Log files saved from Server Administrator are saved in zip format. It is recommended that you open this zip file using WinZip. Windows
Server 2003 or Windows XP embedded Compressed (zipped) Folder utility is not recommended.
• After configuring BIOS settings on certain systems, a second reboot may be required for the Server Administrator to display the
updated BIOS settings properly.
• If you import an invalid root certificate into Server Administrator, using Preferences > General Settings > Web Server > X.509
Certificate, and try to log on to the application after restarting the Web server, a blank page is displayed. To fix this issue, restore
your original keystore.db file before importing a valid root certificate. To restore the keystore.db file, use both the basic
operating system commands and the Server Administrator Command Line Instrumentation (CLI).
Perform the following steps from your operating system command line:
