Configuring a refurbished DELL R710 Server as an application server
Hello,
We recently purchased a R710 to replace our older PE 2850 Server. The PE 2850 Server is running W2K3 Professional edition. The R710 currently is pre-installed with W2K8 Enterprise Edition. Due to the core business application we are using being certified for W2K3 OS we have no choice but to downgrade to W2K3 Professional edition.
We are using Dell Server setup utility CDU-1.6_CORE_173_A01. While installing W2K3 Server enterprise edition we are being asked to enter the Dell Open Manage Server Administrator ver 6.5.0. We have downloaded OM-SrvAdmin-Dell-Web-win-6.5.0-2247,AO1.10.exe but after burning it to a CD both zipped and extracted it spits out the Cd (does not recognize it).
Anyone knows what I can do to get the software recognized or to get it installed otherwise.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Server administrator is a management tool for inside the OS, it is not bootable. What you need is the Server management tools and documentation DVD. http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=4HHMH
