IE's Enhanced Security Configuration makes it nearly impossible to use OpenManage.  When it says to add https://, it should be telling you to add the web server in question to your Trusted Sites ... for example, let's say you have a server at IP address 172.16.6.111 whose name is scottsdale.  You can add any of the following to Trusted Sites:  https://localhost, https://scottsdale, or https://172.16.6.111.  

Even better ... turn off IE ESC and/or add it to your Intranet Zone (which will log you in automatically).

"You can add any of the following to Trusted Sites:  https://localhost, https://scottsdale, or https://172.16.6.111.  " those are already in the Trusted Sites! and it's not really true that "When it says to add https://, it should be telling you to add the web server in question to your Trusted Sites " because the first time I use OpenManage it does prompt to add the web server in question, it's only after that first time that it asks to add just https:// 

 

Adding it to the Intranet Zone logs me in automatically like you said but the problem with it asking to add https:// is still there.

And turning off IE ESC is not a solution it at most a workaround and it's there for a reason.

The solution is that Dell should fix their OpenManage!!! And honestly I don't understand how their programmers didn't test their product with the most popular browser:emotion-14:

It (IE) should be telling you the server in question to Add or continue blocking.  Since it doesn't, I would imagine some script is being blocked.  Allowing Active Scripting for the Internet Zone (as adding it for Intranet/Trusted does not resolve it) will make it go away.  Alternatively, you could turn off ESC :) or uncheck the box to continue showing blocked content.

"And turning off IE ESC is not a solution it at most a workaround and it's there for a reason." 

Sure it is there for a reason, but it becomes irrelevant when access to the server is controlled and limited to trained and knowledgeable personnel.
