When running and emailing a Device Overview Report in OpenManage Enterprise, the available export file format options are HTML, CSV, PDF, and XLS. This allows administrators to select the most suitable format for their needs, whether it’s for viewing in a web browser (HTML), importing into a spreadsheet (CSV or XLS), or distributing a static document (PDF).

Here’s a breakdown of the options:

HTML: HyperText Markup Language, commonly used for creating web pages and web applications.

CSV: Comma-Separated Values, a simple file format used to store tabular data, such as a spreadsheet or database.

PDF: Portable Document Format, a file format used to present documents in a manner independent of application software, hardware, and operating systems.

XLS: An Excel Spreadsheet, which is a file format used by Microsoft Excel.

These formats provide flexibility in how the report can be used and shared. For example, HTML is useful for immediate viewing, CSV for data analysis, PDF for distribution, and XLS for further manipulation in Excel.

The ability to export content of selected reports to these formats is documented in the Dell OpenManage Enterprise support resources1. This ensures that the information can be easily accessed and utilized by the administrator or other stakeholders who need to review the server listings.

=========================

In Dell OpenManage Enterprise, a single query group can contain a maximum of 32 conditions or queries. This allows for the creation of detailed and specific criteria for managing and monitoring systems within the application.

The process for creating a query group in OpenManage Enterprise typically involves:

Navigating to the query section within the OpenManage Enterprise console.

Initiating the creation of a new query group.

Adding conditions or queries to the group, with the option to specify up to 32 different criteria.

Saving the query group for later use in reports, alerts, or system monitoring tasks.

This information is consistent with the latest documentation and user guides provided by Dell for OpenManage Enterprise, ensuring that the answer is verified and up-to-date1. It’s important to refer to the most recent OpenManage Enterprise documentation or contact Dell support for the latest features and limitations.

The most likely cause of being unable to log in to the server Operating System shortly after deploying a template is that the Operating System Password was changed. When deploying a template in Dell OpenManage Enterprise, if the template includes user credentials or password settings, it may overwrite the existing credentials on the target server.

Here’s why this is the most likely cause:

The Operating System IP address was changed: While changing the IP address can affect remote connectivity, it would not prevent login once access to the server is established.

The template deployment failed: If the deployment had failed, the server would likely revert to its previous settings, including the original password.

The deployment template included RAID configuration: Configuring RAID would not typically affect the Operating System’s ability to log in unless it resulted in data loss or corruption.

The Operating System Password was changed: This directly affects the ability to log in, as the credentials used previously would no longer be valid.

It’s important to review the contents of the deployment template before applying it to ensure that any changes to user credentials are intentional and documented. For more information on the effects of template deployment on server settings, you can refer to the Dell OpenManage Enterprise documentation and community discussions1.
