The interfaces include web interface, RACADM, Redfish, and so on. You can connect to iDRAC either locally or remotely. If you try to connect to iDRAC using the iDRAC port through a switch, you may need to perform additional configuration on the switch to allow the connection to be successful. Alternatively, bypass the switch and connect the system directly to the iDRAC port. NOTE: For more information on connecting to iDRAC, see the iDRAC manuals at www.dell.com/idracmanuals Lifecycle Controller is not recognizing USB in UEFI mode When there are combinations of servers connected, you need to use the same mode for all servers.

Guidance on remote desktop services A Remote Desktop Services deployment is the infrastructure used to share applications and resources with users. Depending on the experience you want to provide, you can make it as small or complex as you need. Remote Desktop deployments are easily scaled. You can increase and decrease Remote Desktop Web Access, Gateway, Connection Broker and Session Host servers at will. You can use Remote Desktop Connection Broker to distribute workloads. Active Directory based authentication provides a highly secure environment. For more information, see Build and Deploy Remote Desktop Services NOTE: Provide the correct Microsoft Windows version while purchasing the license. Server management software issues 99
