DSM iDRAC Service Module failed to start - iDRAC Installation
Hi,
I have been installing and configuring iDRAC on our Dell servers and all is going well, except on 3 servers I am getting the following message and the installation fails:
(In Event Viewer): EventID: 7024 The DSM iDRAC Service Module service terminated with service-specific error %%261
EventID: 11920 MSiInstaller - Dell iDRAC Service Module error 1920 failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services
I have looked at the actions in this post http://commweb-ps3.us.dell.com/support-forums/servers/f/177/t/19618087 but it doesn't apply to us as these servers are not in a cluster, so the options are not available
I have also read this article http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/servers/f/177/t/18105937 and have checked the services in msconfig, and have tried stopping some of the non-Microsoft services but no luck
These services are:
- Backup Exec (various) - STOPPED
- McAfee (various) - THESE SERVICES DIDN'T STOP INSTALL ON OTHER SERVERS
- Manage Engine OpManager & ServiceDesk - ONLY ON ONE SERVER (DIDN'T STOP)
- Dell Enterprise Manager - STOPPED
- a couple of licensing services - UNABLE TO STOP
Are any of the above services known to conflict with iDrac services or is there something else I can try?
I have also tried the 'Run As Administrator' option when installing but it makes no difference
Can anyone shed any light on this please?
Many thanks

Did you ever solve this issue? I am getting a similar error.

No I'm afraid I didn't, although I suspect it had something to do with OpManager being installed on there. Unfortunately I couldn't prove it by stopping these services, so iDrac still isn't setup.
Good luck and if you find the answer please let me know
