DRAC6 virtual console not working in Win8/IE10?
I have a Poweredge R610 with a DRAC6. It works fine. I got a new Windows 8 computer with Internet Explorer 10. No matter what I do the virtual console won't come up under IE10 on this Windows 8 machine.
It works fine in Firefox, and with older IE's on two other Win7 machines.
I tried upgrading the firmware from 1.92 to 1.98 but it still just sits there with an X in the top left of the virtual console window and fails.
Does anyone know what I have to do to get this to work? I've added the web sites IP address the the trusted sites and everything.

KenWilson12,
Just to confirm with you, which iDrac 6 is installed, the Enterprise or Express?
Likely this is due to the 64-bit ActiveX plug-in is not supported to launch a Virtual Console session using Internet Explorer. From the Drac Web GUI, select System - then the Virtual Console Tab. Once there then change the Plug-in type to JAVA from Native and then Apply. After that try relaunching,
Let me know if this helps.

That did it. I didn't know I could switch back and forth. It was an Enterprise DRAC. And even says on the settings page "Note: 64-Bit Active-X plugin is Unsupported on iDRAC6 Enterprise".
Thanks.
