The Installer does not check for the patch mentioned in the Microsoft Knowledge Base article KB947870 as a part of the pre-requirements check. The install fails without this patch. This does not affect uninstall or reinstall of the utility. 2. The following message is displayed when the installer encounters the error. “Setting Administrator level access controls failed on.

When obsolete systems are present in a collection the DLCI for ConfigMgr will not update results for operations performed on these systems. It is recommended that obsolete systems be cleaned up from collections prior to using the DLCI for ConfigMgr. 5. When the iDRAC of the target system is in shared mode startup of WinPE may fail. This is due to incorrect network drivers being loaded by WinPE. The steps to correct this issue are documented below. ----------------------------------------------------------------------Creating a Custom Boot Image for iDRAC’s Configured in Shared Network Mode ----------------------------------------------------------------------When deploying an operating system to a server that has it’s iDRAC configured in Shared network mode, the startup of the Windows PE environment can fail on the network drivers, file:///T|/htdocs/SOFTWARE/smdlci/1_0/en/readme/Readme.txt[10/26/2012 3:12:43 PM] causing the system to restart prior to reaching the task sequence. This is caused by an incorrect network driver being loaded by Windows PE. More specifically, Windows PE will load the “BroadCom BC5706C NetXtreme II GigE” driver, and an iDRAC operating in Shared mode requires the “BroadCom BC5706C NetXtreme II Monolithic” driver to be loaded. The steps below provide instructions for creating a new Boot Image in SCCM that does not have the “BroadCom BC5706C NetXtreme II GigE” driver installed, thus allowing the Monolithic driver to be used. 1. Make a new directory for our boot image and copy a Boot.Wim file into the directory. a. In file manager, navigate to \\ \ \OSD\Lib\BootImages\Dell\ and create a new folder called “Shared.” b. Copy the Boot.Wim file found at \\ \ \OSD\Lib\BootImages\Dell\x86\ Boot.Wim to the “Shared” folder you just created. 2. Create a new Boot Image in Configuration Manager. a. In Configuration Manager, Right click on the Dell PowerEdge Server Deployment folder under Boot Images, and select “Add Boot Image”. b. A wizard will be launched. Navigate to the new directory you created above, and select the boot image. c. After selecting next, Provide a name for the boot Image, such as “Dell PowerEdge Shared iDRAC Boot Image (x86)”. The version and comment fields are not required. d. Click "Next" or "Finish" to complete the wizard. 3. Add Dell Drivers to the Boot Image a. In Configuration Manger under “Computer Management”, “Operating System Deployment”, “Drivers” folder, click on “Dell Server Drivers”. b. Using your shift key, highlight all the drivers listed in the right pane. c. Right click on the highlighted selection, and select “Add or Remove Drivers to Boot Image” d. A new window will appear. While leaving any existing boot images checked, find the name of the boot image we created and check its checkbox. e. Click "OK" to close this window. 4. Remove the “BroadCom BC5706C NetXtreme II GigE” Driver from the Boot Image a. In Configuration Manager under “Computer Management”, “Operating System Deployment”, “Boot Images”, “Dell PowerEdge Server Deployment”, right click on the new Boot Image and select properties. b. In the “Windows PE” tab, highlight the “BroadCom BC5706C NetXtreme II GigE” driver. c. With the driver selected. Click on the red X button to remove the driver from the boot image, and then Click OK. d. A popup will appear asking if you want to update the distribution point. Click the “Yes” button. e. Allow the update of the distribution point to complete and close the dialog. 5. Manage the Distribution Point a. In Configuration Manager under “Computer Management”, “Operating System file:///T|/htdocs/SOFTWARE/smdlci/1_0/en/readme/Readme.txt[10/26/2012 3:12:43 PM] Deployment”, “Boot Images”, “Dell PowerEdge Server Deployment”, right click on the new Boot Image and select “Manage Distribution Points”. b.
