IT Assistant 7

Is it me, or am I just missing something. It seems as though Dell has taken out some of the basic functionality of IT Assistant. For example, how does one reset the bios after a chasis intrusion in version 7, or make any other Bios Changes? Do you have to create a new task for this?

Also, since version 7 does not support DMI, can we just remove OMCI 6.x from older machines, and install OMCI 7.x on them, Specifically GX400's, and GX240's.

I also get device health warnings, but no event log to tell me what the problem is, just a warning symbol.

Thanks,

    I think that now you have to run a task to reset those issues.   I would have like to have seen some default tasks sent with the product for examples.

    Which brings me to my question, I am trying to create a task to reset the system intrusion detection.  But when I right click on a command line task to setup a new task, I am missing the drop down option for Remote Client Instrumentation task.   The readme says that it wasn't detected on the server during install, but does not tell what I need to do to fix it.  How do I get this option back so that I can fix this?

    Thanks,

    I confirmed what I had thought today about resetting the ChassisIntrusion Warning.   You have to have the ability to run Remote Client Instrumentation Command Line tasks from the Command Line section of task manager. 

    Start a new task, giving it a name and selecting the Remote Client Instrumentation Command Line option.   In the Arguments section, at the end of the stuff already there, add this command to the end of the line (It says classpropertyvalue= now)

    Dell_SMBIOSsettings::ChassisIntrusionStatus:5

    Run that task against any machine with the Chassis Intrusion warning, and it should clear them.

    Tips: 

    You must have OCCU (Openmanage Client Connection Utility) v2.0 installed on the ITA 7.0 Server.  It was just added to the web site.  Also, set the startup login for the OCCU service the same as your OCMI login and password.  Then restart ITA.

    That worked for me, your mileage may vary.     I like the new scripting way of doing things, but then I am a programmer at heart, so it seemed more natural to me.   I still wish Dell would have included some pre-designed tasks (like reset chassis) for example purposes.

    Let me know if that helps,
