Prerequisites

  • To perform any tasks on OpenManage Enterprise, you must have necessary role-based user privileges and scope-based operational access to the devices. See Role and scope-based access
  • After submitting this job for execution the console will first try and verify the service tag of the intended target to ensure the operation is performed on the correct system. If the verification fails the job will complete with errors, and the task execution history detail will show the following:
