What is the difference between Devices which shows credential Type "Discovery" to credential type "internal" ?

Hello,

After one or more servers are onboarded and the OME service accounts have been automatically created on each iDRAC, the credential type used for each server is displayed in OME on the All Devices page. Any server where password rotation is enabled is reported as credential type “Internal”. Servers for which rotation is not supported, for example where there is no OME Advanced license, are reported as “Discovery” (which means that OME will continue to use the credentials set at discovery)

Many thanks for this detailed Answer. 
But what i do now with this Devices with Credential Type "Discovery" in Combination with Template Management ? This Devices are not vissible for my Template and Configuration Compliance Rules . 

On the IDRACs with shown as "Discovery" i have on all the IDRAC Enterprise License installed. 

And in OME the Password Management Option is set to this . 


I have installed all Devices on the same way . So why i have this "Discovery" Devices ? 


Can i change this Devices to internal  ? 

What happens when i delete my Appliance and install it again without the Option "Enable internal IDRAC Credential Management" ?

Hi,

There are some pre-requisites, could you check if they are met; https://dell.to/4eoyVRJ

Ok , i understand . 

I check the Devices with "Discovery" and i find out that there is no OpenManage Enterprise Advanced+ installed on the IDRAC . 
Maybe this Devices ordered without OpenManage Enterprise Advanced+ license. 
All other Devices have in the IDRAC the Service Account installed.
