92 Installing Management Station Software
The REMOVE customization parameter can be included on the command
line and assigned the feature ID (or IDs) of the software feature that you
would like to uninstall. An example is
msiexec.exe /i MgmtSt.msi REMOVE=RACMS /qb
This command runs only the installation for management station and
uninstalls Remote Access Controller management station, in an unattended
and verbose mode.
You can also choose to install, reinstall, and uninstall features with one
execution of the msiexec.exe program. An example is
msiexec.exe /i MgmtSt.msi ADDLOCAL=ADS REINSTALL=
ITA REMOVE=BMC /qb
This command runs the installation for management station and simultaneously
installs Active Directory Snap-in Utility, reinstalls IT Assistant, and uninstalls
the Baseboard Management Controller utility. This execution will be in an
unattended and verbose mode.
Supported Management and Alerting Agents
With Dell OpenManage software, agent is a general term applied to the
software features of systems management instrumentation. Degrees of
support vary among agents. For example, IT Assistant automatically
discovers, displays, receives alerts from, and can perform actions on the
systems managed by Server Administrator, but IT Assistant can only receive
alerts from certain storage device agents. See the Dell OpenManage IT
Assistant User’s Guide for a list of agents supported by IT Assistant.
Upgrading IT Assistant After Migrating to Windows Server 2003
If a system with IT Assistant installed is migrated to Windows Server 2003
and then upgraded to a recent version of IT Assistant, a problem may occur
due to encryption differences between Windows Server 2003 and earlier
versions of Windows.
After an upgrade on a system that has been migrated to Windows Server 2003,
systems configured with the CIM protocol might no longer be discovered. If this
issue occurs, reset the password for the CIM user. In the IT Assistant user
interface, go to Discovery and Monitoring, select Ranges and right-click
