Installing Dell OpenManage Essentials
11
Automatically installing all critical prerequisites
To automatically install all critical prerequisites, click Install All Critical Prerequisites button on the Dell
OpenManage Essentials Prerequisites screen. Depending on the system configuration, a reboot may be
required; however, the prerequisites installation resumes automatically after the system restarts. To
avoid issues with automatically resuming installation, make sure User Access control is turned off.
Note: Installation may take up to 35 minutes to complete.
SQL Server requirements include:
Local Database
To set up OpenManage Essentials on a local database, SQL Server 2008 must be installed,
(even though it displays only as a warning (rather than critical) prerequisite).
Remote Server
If you have a database located on a remote server, SQL Server is not required on the local
system.
Version
If the local system has SQL Server 2005 installed, Dell recommends upgrading to the latest
service pack or to install SQL Server 2008 or SQL Server 2012.
Note: SQL Server 2012 RC/evaluation versions are not supported.
Typical installation
A Typical installation installs OME with the default settings. Select Typical on the Setup Type screen, and
then click Install on the Ready to Install the Program screen.
In a Typical installation:
SQL Server Authentication is selected as the default authentication method.
The default SQL instance is selected as the database server.
If there is no default SQL instance and multiple named instances of SQL exist, the first-
installed named instance will be selected as the database server.
Because the SQL prerequisite shows up as a warning, you could miss installing it and still reach the Setup
Type screen. The OpenManage Essentials installer handles this by displaying a dialog that asks you to
install SQL (see Figure 4).
