• • Yes, reboot my system now. No, I will reboot my system later. Uninstalling Managed System Software You can uninstall managed system software features by using the Dell EMC OpenManage Systems Management Tools and Documentation software, or the operating system. You can simultaneously perform unattended uninstallation on multiple systems. Uninstalling Managed System Software Using The Provided Media Perform the following tasks to uninstall managed system software using the provided media. 1.
Unattended uninstall using the product GUID If you do not have the installation image or the MSI package available during an uninstallation, use the package GUIDs in the command line to uninstall systems management software on managed systems or management stations running Windows operating system. For managed systems, use msiexec /x {309893AB-6B00-47D0-96A3-8AAB3732FDDB} Unattended Uninstallation Of Managed System Software The systems management installer features an unattended uninstallation procedure.
4 Installing Managed System Software On Microsoft Windows Server and Microsoft Hyper-V Server The Server Core installation option of the Microsoft Windows Server and Hyper-V Server operating system provides a minimal environment for running specific server roles that reduce the maintenance and management requirements and the attack surface for those server roles. A Windows Server or Hyper-V Server installation installs only a subset of the binaries that are required by the supported server roles.
Uninstalling Systems Management Software To uninstall managed system software, type msiexec /x SysMgmtx64.msi at the command prompt.
5 Using Microsoft Active Directory If you use Active Directory service software, configure it to control access to the network. The Active Directory database is modified to support remote management authentication and authorization. Server Administrator, as well as Integrated Remote Access Controllers (iDRAC), Remote Access Controllers (RAC), can now interface with Active Directory. With this tool, you can add and control users and privileges from one central database.
Figure 1. Typical Setup for Active Directory Objects In addition, you can set up Active Directory objects in a single domain or in multiple domains. Setting up objects in a single domain does not vary, whether you are setting up RAC, or Server Administrator objects. When multiple domains are involved, however, there are some differences. The following figure shows the set up of the Active Directory objects in a single domain.
Setting Up Objects In A Single Domain To set up the objects in a single domain scenario, perform the following tasks: 1. Create two Association Objects. 2. Create two RAC Product Objects, RAC1 and RAC2, to represent the two DRAC 4 cards. 3. Create two Privilege Objects, Priv1 and Priv2, in which Priv1 has all privileges (administrator) and Priv2 has login privileges. 4. Group User1 and User2 into Group1. 5.
Setting Up Server Administrator Active Directory Objects In Multiple Domains For Server Administrator, the users in a single Association can be in separate domains and need not be in a Universal group. The following is a very similar example to show how Server Administrator systems in separate domains affect the setup of directory objects. Instead of RAC devices, you will have two systems running Server Administrator (Server Administrator Products sys1 and sys2). sys1 and sys2 are in different domains.
• • Adding Users and Privileges to Active Directory Configuring the Systems or Devices Configuring The Active Directory Product Name To configure the Active Directory product name: 1. Locate the omsaoem.ini file in the installation directory. 2. Edit the file to add the line adproductname=text, where text is the name of the product object that you created in Active Directory. For example, the omsaoem.ini file contains the following syntax if the Active Directory product name is configured to omsaApp.
CAUTION: The Dell Schema Extender uses the SchemaExtenderOem.ini file. To ensure that the Dell Schema Extender utility functions properly, do not modify the name or the contents of this file. 1. Click Next on the Welcome screen. 2. Read the warning and click Next. 3. Select Use Current Log In Credentials or enter a user name and password with schema administrator rights. 4. Click Next to run the Dell Schema Extender. 5. Click Finish.

Creating A Product Object To create a Product Object: NOTE: Server Administrator users must use Universal-type Product Groups to span domains with their product objects. NOTE: When adding Universal-type Product Groups from separate domains, create an Association object with Universal scope. The default Association objects created by the Schema Extender utility are domain Local Groups and do not work with Universal-type Product Groups from other domains. 1.
2. Select the Users tab and click Add. 3. Type the User or User Group name or browse to select and click OK. Click the Privilege Object tab to add the privilege object to the association that defines the user’s or user group’s privileges when authenticating to a system.

6 Frequently Asked Questions What ports do systems management applications use? The Server Administrator uses the default port 1311. These ports are configurable. For port information of a particular component, see the User Guide of that respective component.
3. Copy the contents of the folder to the current successful installation folder and restart the webserver. All the preferences and certificate will be restored. How do I complete the installation if it is aborted during the x86 to x64 upgrade install? If the uninstall operation is aborted, some of the Server Administrator component tree objects may not appear. To resolve this issue, Server Administrator installation must be repaired. Go to Start > Settings > Control panel > Add Remove Programs.
Management Install is "failed to load OMIL64.DLL." What do I do? This is most likely due to insufficient Component Object Model (COM) permissions on the system. To remedy this situation, see the article support.installshield.com/kb/view.asp?articleid=Q104986 The Systems Management Install may also fail if a previous installation of systems management software or some other software product was unsuccessful. Delete the following temporary windows installer registry, if present: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Window
This property is set to srvadmin\windows\SystemsManagement for the managed system software MSI package. If you want to make the own DVD you must ensure that the DVD layout stays the same. The SysMgmtx64.msi file must be located in the srvadmin \windows\SystemsManagementx64. For more detailed information, go to msdn.microsoft.com and search for MEDIAPACKAGEPATH Property Does systems management Install support Windows Advertised installation? No.
• WSH is the wrong version, corrupted, or not installed. WSH is installed during operating system installation, by default. Download WSH from msdn.microsoft.com. Is the time shown during installation or uninstallation by Windows Installer Services accurate? No. During installation or uninstallation, the Windows Installer Service may display the time remaining for the current task to complete. This is only an approximation by the Windows Installer Engine based on varying factors.
