• While not officially supported in OpenManage Network Manager 4.4, there

have been a few requests to install it onto Windows 2008 R2 and some have

claimed that it works fine with R2. OpenManage Network Manager 4.4 how-

ever is only officially supported on the R1 version of Windows 2008 Server.

To install and use without such official support, you must override a setting

during installation.

To ignore the OS version, add the following line to the

setup.ini

file in the installation root directory before install:

ignore.os=true

• OpenManage Network Manager includes several new ACLI group operations

in this version. You must install Perl to take advantage of all of these opera-

tions’ capabilities.

•

Upgrading

: You can upgrade to this version of OpenManage Network Man-

ager

from the previous one. So you can upgrade from 4.3 to 4.4. Upgrade

from 4.1 to 4.2, then to 4.3 if you have a previous version.

Configuration File Management

• Summary backup e-mail from Group Operations’ backup “single” e-mail now

publishes its results in the following groups (and in the following order):

- changes

- new files

- no changes

- error

If a group has no members, it does not appear in the e-mail. Devices in a

group appear listed in order of device name sorted alphabetically. (11477)

• E-mails from file backup group operations now provide lines below and

above any comparison. This “CONTEXT” e-mail format is now the default.

You can return to the previous default format by changing properties in

\owareapps\lib\nr.properties

. Look for the

email.type

property.
