Security Consideration for Dell Discovery Utility
When you run Dell Discovery utility for first time on any system, to discover
the MD storage arrays, there is a delay of 40-45 seconds to launch the utility if
the system does not have access to the internet.
This problem occurs because a .NET Framework 2.0 managed assembly that
has an Authenticode signature takes longer than usual to load. The signature
is always verified when the .NET Framework 2.0 managed assembly that has
an Authenticode signature is loaded.
To avoid the delay in launching the utility on a system without internet
access:
1
Open the DellDiscoveryUtility.exe.config file from the location where you
have extracted the contents
Dell_MDStorageArray_ABB.exe.
2 Set the value of <generatePublisherEvidence enabled=
"True"/>
to "False".
