Known Limitations and Workarounds

The following subsections list the currently known limitations.

Known Limitations on Microsoft Windows Operating Systems

Issue description: Windows "Advertised" installation. (144364)

Server Administrator install does not support Windows "Advertised" installation — the process of automatically distributing a program to

client computers for installation through Windows group policies.

Versions Affected: 8.2.0 and earlier

Issue description: Server Administrator conflicts with the Intel IMB driver.

Server Administrator may conflict with the Intel IMB driver. You may receive an informational message recommending you to uninstall the

Intel IMB driver before installing Server Administrator.

You can do it through the "Device Manager" performing the following steps:

1. Open Device Manager.

2. Expand System devices.

3. Right-click the device with the name IMB Driver and click Uninstall.

4. Click OK to uninstall.

If you choose to install Server Administrator during Intel IMB driver installation, Server Administrator services may fail to start or Server

Administrator may have problems accessing sensor data.

Issue description:

Wrong install directory is displayed during OM Installation (71022)

Broadcom/Intel SNMP agent installers are provided by Broadcom/Intel and they do not support installation of these components in the

custom directory.

Issue description: On Server Administrator 8.2.0, while running the Repair option from Add/Remove Programs or Uninstall or Change a

program window, if an error occurs, use the Repair option in the MSI.

Issue description: Do not specify user profile folders such as a desktop folder (C:\Users\administrator\Desktop) as custom installation

paths for installing Server Administrator. This is because services running on the system account cannot access such folders.

Known Limitations on Linux Operating Systems

Issue description: Linux install script cannot be run from Virtual Media.

The srvadmin-services.shscript cannot be run from Virtual Media. Run this script from the local file system after unmounting the

virtual media. This avoids input/output errors that you may otherwise encounter while using Virtual Media.

Versions Affected: 8.2.0 and earlier

Issue description:YUM uninstall leaves services running. (410584)

If you are using methods other than the srvadmin-uninstall.shcommand to uninstall Server Administrator rpm, the Server

Administrator service processes may still continue to run.

To prevent this issue, run the srvadmin-services stopcommand to stop the Server Administrator services and then remove the

Server Administrator rpms.

Versions Affected: 8.1.0 and earlier

Issue description: After uninstalling the VIB on the ESXi OS, some INI files may be present in the /etc/cim/dell folder. However, these INI

files do not cause any functional limitation.
