102 Installing Managed System Software on Windows Operating Systems
Server Administrator can switch over from using the Windows Server 2003 R2
IPMI driver to using its own internal IPMI support. To restart the service, you
can either manually restart the service or reboot the system.
Digital Certificates
All Server Administrator packages for Microsoft are digitally signed with a
Dell certificate that helps guarantee the integrity of the installation packages.
If these packages are repackaged, edited, or manipulated in other ways, the
digital signature will be invalidated. This manipulation results in an
unsupported installation package and the Prerequisite Checker will not allow
you to install the software.
Installation Procedures
This section explains how to install, upgrade, and uninstall Server
Administrator on a system that is running a supported Windows operating
system.
Prerequisites for Installing or Upgrading Server Administrator
You must have Administrator privileges.
If you want to use supporting agents for the Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP), you must install the operating system support for the
SNMP standard before or after you install Server Administrator. For more
information about installing SNMP, see the installation instructions for the
operating system you are running on your system.
NOTE: During a Typical installation, individual Server Administrator services will
not be installed on managed systems that do not meet the specific hardware and
software Installation Requirements for that service. For example, the Server
Administrator Remote Access Service software module will not be installed during
a Typical installation unless the managed system has an installed remote access
controller. You can, however, go to Custom Setup and select the Remote Access
Service software module for installation.
