• 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.
• 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.
