8 Installing OpenManage Essentials

Downloading OpenManage Essentials

You can download OpenManage Essentials from support.dell.com or the Dell

TechCenter website.

Terms and Conditions for Using Relational

Database Management Systems

The relational database management system (RDBMS) used for installing

OpenManage Essentials is an SQL server. The SQL server has configuration

settings separate from the OpenManage Essentials database. The server has

logins (SQL or Windows) that may or may not have access to the OpenManage

Essentials database.

NOTE: You require a sysadmin role to perform the SQL server tasks.

When OpenManage Essentials is installed, Internet security is modified by

adding registry entries to the ZoneMaps for HKLM and HKCU. This ensures

that Internet Explorer identifies the fully qualified domain name as an

intranet site.

Installing OpenManage Essentials 9

A self-signed certificate is created and this certificate is installed in the root

Certificate Authorities (CA) and My certificates. However, it is recommended

to use a custom certificate.

To prevent certificate errors, remote clients must install OpenManage Essentials

certificate in both CA and Root Certificate Stores to remove the certificate errors.

For a Typical install of OpenManage Essentials:

• Use the local version of SQL Server that has all supported components.

• The RDBMS is altered to support both SQL and Windows authentication.

• An SQL login is generated for OpenManage Essentials’ services and this

login is added as a RDBMS SQL login with sysadmin privileges.

NOTE: The password for the SQL login is controlled by the application and is

different on every system.

It is recommended that a custom install is selected when you want to use a

domain service account for added security and SQL Server Management

Studio (SSMS) selection.
