Console
This section provides information on migrating Dell Management Console
versions for 32-bit Windows 2003 R2 operating system to this release of Dell
Management Console for 64-bit Windows 2008 R2 operating system.
NOTE: You must migrate to Dell Management Console 2.0, and then upgrade to Dell
Management Console 2.0.2. (as we do not support direct migration to Dell
Management Console 2.0.2). You cannot migrate directly to Windows Server 2008
R2 (64-bit) SP1. You must migrate to the Dell Management Console 2.0.2 version and
then upgrade the operating system to the SP1.
Dell Management Console Migration Notes
• After migrating from Dell Management Console version 1.x to Dell
Management Console version 2.0; For an OpenManage deploy task, if you
use existing OpenManage Server Administrator packages, then the
following error message is displayed: The installation package could not be
modified.

As workaround, use OpenManage Server Administrator packages that are
saved and deployed in Dell Management Console after the migration.
• When you are migrating from Dell Management Console version 1.x to
Dell Management Console version 2.0 using
"Migration Using Symantec
Installation Manager" on page 38 or Database migration method. If the
migration process imports a solution that is not present in Dell
Management Console 2.0, then the following Notification Server Upgrade
Wizard import error is displayed in the Altiris Log Viewer: Unable to get
product details for the specified product (Product Guide: ...).

As workaround, ensure that the appropriate solutions are installed with
Dell Management Console version 2.0.
