PowerEdge R730 looping updates

Hi there,

I've some issues on my lab server (so no warranty/support anymore), which is a PowerEdge R730. It is not critical but it is annoying and if we find a solution or if several people have the same issue, it might help more...

So my server is configured to check daily updates directly on downloads.dell.com and install updates at each reboot. Its a lab, I like to have always the latest versions and this server is powered only when I need extra ressources.

Now the issues:

- Dell Remote Access Controller: version 2.75.75.75 is available and I already tried to install it, but the next day when it checks updates again, it detects 2.70.70.70 as a newer version and overwrite the other at the next reboot.

- IDSDM: it detects a newer version when my server is powered off, but when it boots, it can never install it as it might be the same (and I lose time as it goes through the Lifecycle). IDSDM reports N/A when the server is off and 1.11 when it's on. The detected file is the following: Firmware_4D1YH_WN64_1.11_A02_01.EXE

Any chance somebody knows a way to fix this ? Maybe there is some commands to reset updates "database" (if it exists) or something else.

In advance, many thanks for your help

Kind regards
