First Steps with Open Manage Essentials Problem with Data Sources of Servers
I have installed a Server for and with Open Manage Server Essentials .... discovered my Network and found many Servers so far so good... Only 1 Server has a green Checkmark and you can see in Data Source it uses Server Administrator with Version 7.1.0. I downloaded the OMSA Node in 7.4.0.2 on another Server, installed SNMP etc. and the Server is found with a Grey question mark and the Data source is a Windows Hardware Agent Version 2.0 .. does anybody has any hints how to handle it ? And want install Server after Server to see it in OME centraly on one Server for Adminstration...
Sorry for my Bad English and thanks for all Infos.

Ok, so be sure to review the First Time Setup tutorial in the OME console.
1. You do need OMSA on the box, so 7.4 is fine.
2. Be sure you've made the necessary SNMP settings on the OMSA box (services.msc, SNMP, accept paackets from any host --or use ip address).
3. You can use the Dell Troubleshooting tool on the OME desktop to test the SNMP connectivity to the server with OMSA on it.
4. I think the FAQ (delltechcenter.com/ome) has some tips in the discovery section (#3.4?)
That should get us started,
Thanks,
Rob
