Good morning good afternoon and good evening. My name is Dustin. I am a subject matter expert
in the systems management space. Today I will be going over the application settings
and preferences in OpenManage Enterprise. So we'll just go start by just kind of going through each
tab and explaining what we have inside of these. Application settings, so the current settings is
just a quick snapshot view of what's going on with the internet. If you have your DNS name, FQDN,
you can check out your ipv4, ipv6 addresses, gateway make sure you got DNS so you can reach
certain sites, all that good stuff. We have session inactivity timeout configuration so you
could basically enable these to make them last a little longer so if you're querying the API quite
a bit you don't want to time out, you can make that go longer. If your web interface, if you're
in there a lot and it keeps timing on you same idea you can up those. Time configurations where
you can set your time or use NTP, and then of course proxy configuration, pretty straightforward
you just put your information and make sure your authentication is correct.
So, users tab, this is where you can set up extra users, additional users,
this is also where you can connect to active directory services or LDAP.
Now security, we can restrict allowed IP range, so if you basically just didn't want an entire
range of IPs to be able to reach this web UI, you would click this button and add it there,
and you could also change the lockout policy. Currently it's by IP address and not username,
and you can see your accounts there and all that's configurable. So certificates, this is where you
can look at the self-signed certificate or the current certificate that's installed.
This is also where you can generate your service request and go ahead and upload that
certificate you get back from that service request that way your web services are secure.
Now let's go over console preferences this is we have our reports that we can run in OME, and this
can change the amount of rows within the reports, so some people don't want it as long, or they
want it longer. Right, um, device health check we've went over this in a different video but
long story short, you can change the intervals for how often your devices get checked for health.
Discovery settings. This one's kind of important one, because you have
the ability to name your devices by DNS or NetBIOS if you want.
What you get from DNS, or if you want the NetBIOS short name,
and then you also have server device naming so you can name it by your iDRAC or your server hostname.
SMB settings. So this is pretty important with the older iDRAC versions, normally we have v1 disabled
and then it would be using v2. So if you needed an older iDRAC to connect, and you weren't able to,
you could enable v1 temporarily and do your firmware upgrade or whatever you're trying to
do with that iDRAC to get it to the correct version. This is just how the email gets
sent whenever you have email alerts and trap forwarding, this is just where if you wanted to
change the way your traps are forwarded if you're doing trap forwarding.
Alert Display setting, so you can show all alerts acknowledge
or unacknowledged, you can set up your email configuration,
so if you want to use an internal email server you can put that information here.
And then syslog as well, you could put syslog information we went over SNMP on another
video but this is where you would do SNMP forwarding.
Under warranty settings we can just change, uh basically when we're going to get our alerts for
warranties right? So do you want that to happen 90 days? Do you want to show them if they're expiring
in the next 30 days? I mean it just depends on what the cadence the user wants. Console
extensions. This is where you'd go to update your console or to install or upgrade extensions.
Script execution. This is where you'd go if you wanted to basically create scripts and
run them one-to-many to devices, and lastly we've got mobile. So this is for OpenManage
Mobile. Something that you can install on iOS and Android and then you can get push notifications
for any alerts you get from the iDRACs, and you can do a lot of other cool stuff in there too.
So that's really all there is to the application settings and preferences in OpenManage Enterprise.
Thank you and have a wonderful day.
