Dell OMCI Email alerts?
Our organization has been running Dell ITA to manager our servers and now we want to monitor client machines. We have installed OMCI 7.6 on several workstations, but have not been able to receive email alerts (i.e. chassis intrusion, hard drive changes, etc). I am using CIM connectivity to manage the clients. Does anyone know if we can get email alerts from OMCI?

server (email) alerts are sent from ITA, triggered by (filtered) SNMP traps, coming from the server.
Regarding this document (http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/software/smcliins/cli76/en/ug/ugenpdf.pdf - page 32) this should be similar possible with OMCI and WMI (CIM) alerting, but it says nothing detailed about the remote alerting - which would be the requirement to "inform" ITA about the client problem and in consequence to send the email alert. May be someone should write an power solutions article about this...?
Alternatively (or complementary) you can use Dell Client Manager standard for email alerting - it is also free.

it does not work like OMSA. But yes - you need the Altiris agent, but with DCM the OMCI module is included and you do not need OMCI.
