remote systems

sorry for bad formatting but all my ENTER's are removed....

Thanks for answering, although OMCI is installed (no need to install HAPI driver, right?) I got this error on the remote system: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [p91006]: PS C:\tmp> import-module .\DellBIOSProvider.dll Could not load file or assembly 'file:///C:\tmp\DellBIOSProvider.dll' or one of its dependencies.

Retok, 

Thanks for your details . 

Can You please go to the Properties of the .DLL file by right clicking on it.and check for the any messages saying to Unblock it. 

Also please share the information about PS version on both the Systems. 

Perform Security->Unblock  for the downloaded zip file Dell_SMBIOS_Provider.zip  to unblock all assemblies at once.

Please share the outcome with us.

 

Reto ,

this error says that there is no drive created when u import the module. 

please do a "gdr" in PS prompt and check if there is a drive named DellSMbios. 

Also please share us the System model, OMCI, PowerShell and OS versions which your using.

Thank you for reply, unblock helps. now I have this error: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [p91006]: PS C:\tmp> dir Directory: C:\tmp Mode LastWriteTime Length Name ---- ------------- ------ ---- -a--- 28.04.2014 13:01 38912 DellBIOSProvider.dll -a--- 22.05.2014 16:08 218 DellBIOSProvider.dllDellSMBProvider_Log_22-05-2014.txt -a--- 28.04.2014 12:30 308736 DSMBLibrary.dll -a--- 28.04.2014 12:30 6018 DSMBLibrary.lib -a--- 28.04.2014 12:30 238080 DSMBLibWrapper.dll -a--- 28.04.2014 12:30 3526 DSMBLibWrapper.lib -a--- 28.04.2014 12:30 261120 HapiIntf.dll -a--- 28.04.2014 12:30 114456 HapiIntf.lib -a--- 03.01.2013 09:29 1014840 libxml2.dll -a--- 03.01.2013 09:29 377924 libxml2.lib [p91006]: PS C:\tmp> [p91006]: PS C:\tmp> import-module .\DellBIOSProvider.dll [p91006]: PS C:\tmp> [p91006]: PS C:\tmp> [p91006]: PS C:\tmp> [p91006]: PS C:\tmp> cd DellSMBIOS: cd : Cannot find drive.

Execute "remove-module DellBIOSProvider"  prior to imorting the module again with unblocked assemblies.

You can add -verbose switch for extra messages.

"remove-module DellBIOSProvider" does not help. "gdr" on the remote system ("Enter-PSSession") does not show "DellSMbios" Powershell=3.0 System=Dell OptiPlex 790 OMCI=7.8 OS=Windows 7 SP1 (x86)

I know but 7.8 is the last working version. with 8.0 and later I have problems, see here: http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/enterprise-client/f/4709/p/19426765/20511979.aspx#20511979 and that's the main reason I tried the new powershell solution. would be great to have an OMCI version which will solve all my issues ;-)

Retok, 

This is a very earlier version of OMCI ( Hapi too). please upgrade to OMCI 8.2.1 from this below link. 

http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/systems-management/w/wiki/1773.openmanage-client-instrumentation-omci.aspx

i would suggest you to disconnect the Remote session and connect back after upgrade of OMCI. 

this will solve all your issues. :)

Installed HAPI, it works now! For testing purpose I have changed Numlock value to "Disabled" on a remote PC, rebooted the PC, checked the BIOS and found Numlock=Disabled. Then repeated the hole procedure and changed Numlock back. looking forward to test the new OMCI version! many thanks for your support, Reto
