Does Dell OpenManage Installer supports Windows Advertised
installation?
No. Dell OpenManage Install does not support Windows "Advertised"
installation - the process of automatically distributing a program to client
computers for installation, through the Windows group policies.
Can I remove Dell OpenManage systems management software by running
the Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD or the
Management Station Web package?
Yes. If you choose to remove Dell OpenManage systems management
software by running the Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation
DVD or the Management Station Web package, it may take a few moments
for the system to respond after you select the Remove option to continue.
This may give you the impression that the system has stopped responding.
Dell recommends that you uninstall using Add/Remove Programs.
How do I check the disk space availability during custom installation?
In the Custom Setup screen, you must click on an active feature to view your
hard drive space availability or to change the installation directory. For
example, if Feature A is selected for installation (active) and Feature B is not
active, the Change and Space buttons will be disabled if you click Feature B.
Click Feature A to view the space availability or to change the installation
directory.
What do I do when I see the current version is already installed message is
displayed?
If you upgrade from version "X" to version "Y" using MSP and then try to use
the version "Y" DVD (full install), the Prerequisite Checker on the version "Y"
DVD will inform you that the current version is already installed. If you
proceed, the installation will not run in "Maintenance" mode and you will not
get the option to "Modify," "Repair," or "Remove." Proceeding with the
installation will remove the MSP and create a cache of the MSI file present in
the version "Y" package. When you run it a second time, the installer will run
in "Maintenance" mode.
