Associating Run As Account For Monitoring A Dell Server Using The Server (Out-Of-Band)

For monitoring the Dell server, the Run As account used to discover it needs to be associated with the Dell server in the

you have to do the association manually.
To manually associate the Run As Account in the SMASH Device Monitoring Profile:
1. Launch OpsMgr 2012, and click Administration.
2. In the Administration pane, browse to Run As Configuration → Profiles.
