Microsoft Windows Server 2016 for Dell PowerEdge Systems Important Information Guide
Operating system name is displayed incorrectly
- Description:
- The Special Administration Console (SAC) interface redirects text output from features, like Recovery Console through the out-of-band port. iDRAC is the out-of-band port, which connects to a remote computer running a terminal emulation software (Command prompt, in this scenario). The system with Windows Server 2016 operating system displays the product name as Windows Server 2012 R2 in the SAC interface by issuing id command.
- Workaround:
- The fix is available in the 9D Cumulative Update for Microsoft Windows Server 2016. For more information about this update, download the Windows update catalog server details listed at Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 3192366.
