The sections
that follow describe how to install Server Administrator and other
managed system software using the Custom Setup option.
NOTE: : Management
station and managed system services can be installed in the same or
in different directories. You can select the directory for installation.
NOTE: : To install
the drivers successfully, the installer runs in an elevated privilege
mode.

Admins and Domain Users group,
to the system on which you want to install the system management software.

virus-scanning software.

Documentation software into the system's DVD drive. The autorun menu
is displayed.
Select Server Administrator from the autorun menu and click Install.
The Server Administrator prerequisite status screen is displayed and runs the prerequisite
checks for the managed system. Any relevant informational, warning,
or error messages are displayed. Resolve all error and warning situations,
if any.

Web Server option.
A selected feature has a hard
drive icon depicted next to it. A feature that is not selected has
a red X depicted next to it. By default, if
the prerequisite checker finds a software feature with no supporting
hardware, the prerequisite checker automatically ignores the feature.

system software, click Next. Else, click Change and browse to the directory where you want to
install the managed system software, and click OK.

installed, the Install Wizard Completed dialog
box is displayed with the following message. iDRAC is
an out-of-band management system that allows system administrators
to monitor and manage PowerEdge Servers and other network equipment,
remotely. iDRAC works regardless of Power status and operating
system functionality. For more information, visit http://pilot.search.dell.com/iDRAC.
iDRAC Service Module (iSM) is a lightweight software service that better integrates operating system (OS) related features with iDRAC and can be installed on Dell EMC 12th or later generation of PowerEdge servers. iSM has a lower impact on Memory and CPU than in-band agents such as Dell EMC OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA), thus expanding iDRAC management into supported host operating systems.
Click Finish to exit
the Server Administrator installation.
If you are prompted to reboot the system, select
from the following reboot options to make the installed managed system
software services available for use:
Yes, reboot my system now.
No, I will reboot my system later.
NOTE: : If you have selected Remote Enablement during installation, an error message A provider, WinTunnel, has been registered in the Windows Management
Instrumentation namespace ROOT\dcim\sysman to use the LocalSystem
account. This account is privileged and the provider may cause a security
violation if it does not correctly impersonate user requests. is logged in Windows Event Log. You can safely ignore this message
and continue with installation.
