Prerequisites
User Notes for Supported Windows Operating Systems
• In the Prerequisite Checker screen, you may get the following message, An error occurred while
attempting to execute a Visual Basic Script. Please confirm that Visual
Basic files are installed correctly.
This error occurs when the Prerequisite Checker calls the
Dell OpenManage
vbstest.vbs (a Visual Basic [VB]) script to verify the installation environment and
fails for some reason.
The possible causes are:
1.
Incorrect Internet Explorer "Security" settings.
Ensure that "Active Scripting" is enabled by clicking "Tools" -> "Internet Options" -> "Security" ->
"Custom Level" -> "Scripting" -> "Active Scripting" -> "Enable."
Ensure that "Scripting of Java Applets" is enabled by Clicking "Tools" -> "Internet Options" ->
"Security" -> "Custom Level" -> "Scripting" -> "Scripting of Java Applets" -> "Enable."
2.
Windows Scripting Host (WSH) has disabled the running of VB scripts.
By default, WSH is installed during operating system installation. WSH can be configured to prevent
scripts with a ".VBS" extension from being run. On the Desktop, right-click "My Computer", then
go to "Open" -> "Tools" -> "Folder Options" -> "File Types." Look for the extension "VBS" and
verify that "File Types" is set to "VBScript Script File". If not, click "Change" and choose
"Microsoft Windows Based Script Host" as the application that runs the script.
3.
WSH is the wrong version, is corrupted, or is not installed.
By default, WSH is installed during operating system installation. To download the current WSH
version, go to: "http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms950396.aspx "
4.
The Scrrun.dll file may not be registered. Register it manually by running the following
command:
regsvr32 Scrrun.dll
• A new console window must be opened and CLI commands executed from that window after an
"Unattended Installation" has completed. It is not possible to execute CLI commands from the same console
window on which Server Administrator is installed.
• If Server Administrator is being installed or uninstalled on a system where the Web download version of
Dell PowerEdge™ Diagnostics (version 2.x) or Dell OpenManage Server Update Utility is running, the
Windows Installer service may display a message stating that specific files needed by Server Administrator
are in use by diagnostics or by the Server Update Utility.
Click "Ignore" and continue. (62159)
• On the Windows 2008 SP2 SBS operating system, the listener creation link on the prerequisite checker
screen does not work. See the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator Installation Guide for creating the
HTTPS listener using the winrm command line utility. (332601)
