Fixes
The following problems were reported in earlier releases of DSDP and have been corrected in this release:
• Dell Bare metal Deployment task fails when Management Point (MP) role is not installed on Site server.
• DSDP does not work properly in setup with multiple Systems Management Server (SMS) providers.
Important Notes
In iDRAC network settings, if the "Auto config Domain Name" is enabled for a target, then the task sequence "Static
DNS Domain Name" used for configuring iDRAC will fail to set the configuration; however, the task sequence will
not report any error, and the next task will continue to run. To avoid this issue, before you run the task sequence, in
iDRAC network settings, clear "Auto config Domain Name".
• In the task sequence, it is recommended that you do not move or delete these Custom Action
steps - "Restart in WinPE", "SetRebootStep", "Reboot to PXE/USB", Second "Format and Partition"
step, "Setup windows and ConfigMgr," and "Reset RebootStep".
• On a client machine, a task will fail if the Dell Remote Access Controller "Virtual Flash" is set to
"enabled". To prevent this failure, ensure that the "Virtual Flash" is set to "disabled" when a task is
executed on the client machine.
• After an operating system is deployed, ensure that the installed mass-storage driver is same as
that specified in the Task Sequence. If you find any differences, update the driver manually.
• In Array Builder, you cannot delete the logical drive under Non-RAID disks.
• When DSDP is being uninstalled on Windows Server 2008 operating system, a message displays
that a reboot is required to complete the setup. Ignore this message and click "OK" to complete
the uninstallation.
• DSDP 3.0 does not support Dell’s 9th generation PowerEdge systems.
• DSDP 3.0 does not support SCCM 2007
