Dell EMC OpenManage Installation Guide — Microsoft Windows Version 9.3.1

Typical Installation

When you access the Server Administrator installation from the prerequisite checker and select the Typical Setup option, the setup program installs the following managed system software features:

• Server Administrator Web Server
• Server Instrumentation
• Storage Management
• Command Line Interface
• WMI
• SNMP
• Operating System Logging
• DRAC Command Line Tools
• Intel SNMP Agent
• Broadcom SNMP Agent
• QLogic SNMP Agent

During a Typical installation, individual management station services that do not meet the specific hardware and software requirement for that service are not installed on the managed systems. For example, the Server Administrator Remote Access Controller service software module is not installed during a Typical installation unless the managed system has a remote access controller installed on it. You can, however, go to Custom Setup and select the DRAC Command Line Tools software module for installation.

NOTE: : To install the drivers successfully, the installer runs in an elevated privilege mode.

NOTE: : The Remote Enablement feature is available only through the Custom Setup option.

NOTE: : Server Administrator installation also installs some of the required Visual C++ runtime components on the system.

NOTE: : You can change the alert message format from Traditional Message Format to Enhanced Message Format using the Custom Setup option.

NOTE: : When you upgrade from a 32-bit OMSA to 64-bit, the Server Administrator Web Server preferences and node configuration preferences are exported to a default folder C:\ProgramData\Dell\ServerAdministrator.

At the time of typical install, if the exported settings are detected by the installer, then the preferences are imported into the new installation of OMSA.

At the time of import, the default preferences as well as the inputs provided at the time of fresh install are overwritten by the settings in the exported folder.

On a successful import of the settings, the exported preferences stored in the default folder C:\ProgramData\Dell\ServerAdministrator are deleted. In case the import fails, the failure is logged and preferences are rolled back to the defaults.
