* On Windows 2000 with MSI engine "2.0.2600.1183," installing
Server Administrator using deployment tools that employ user
impersonation will install the Server Administrator device
drivers. Upgrade the Windows installer engine to version
3.0 (available via Microsoft website) and install using
deployment tools.

* On Windows 2000 operating systems, a roll-back to the original
install configuration occurs if you cancel the removal of
Server Administrator. The roll-back may not succeed for systems
with Windows Installer Service 2.x failing to re-register
dependent services. To resolve the issue, uninstall the failing
component and reinstall it. This issue has been fixed for
Windows Installer Service 3.x and higher.

ISSUES FOR SUPPORTED RED HAT ENTERPRISE LINUX OPERATING SYSTEMS
======================================================================
* Attempts to upgrade a Linux Server Administrator 4.3.0 installation
may fail to update the Dell Remote Access Controller (DRAC) package
"srvadmin-racsvc-4.3.0-785" when attempted from the RPM command-line.
To overcome this issue, stop the service(s) first, then retry the
upgrade:
"srvadmin-services.sh stop"
"rpm -Uhv srvadmin-racsvc-*.rpm"

* If the default install location of Server Administrator is changed
during installation, some of the Server Administrator directories
will not be deleted during its removal. This issue is related
to the default behavior of the RPM engine. For example, if
installed with the prefix "--prefix/opt/dell2/srvadmin2/abc/",
RPM will only delete the last directory ("abc") and the remaining
directories ("/opt/dell2/srvadmin2") are left undeleted.
* When using the command "rpm -e 'rpm -qa | grep srvadmin'" to
remove Dell OpenManage systems management software, some RPM
utility versions appear not to perform a full dependency
check before removal. This can result in some installed RPMs not
being removed in the proper order. A message such as the following
might display:
