is discovered using WS-

inventory is retrieved and
the components are
updated using iDRAC.
However, if drivers are present
in addition to BIOS, firmware,
and applications, then all the
components are updated using
Server Administrator and not
iDRAC.

Applying System Updates
NOTE: You can only update systems using iDRAC6 and above if they are discovered using the WS-Man protocol.
NOTE: Applying system updates out-of-band (iDRAC) is supported only for 32-bit Dell Update Packages (DUPs). If
you select a catalog that has no 32-bit DUPs for applying an out-of-band system update, OpenManage Essentials
does not display any updates under Select Updates to Apply.
NOTE: Applying system updates (in-band) requires that the Windows Management Instrumentation service is
running on the selected targets.
NOTE: Applying system updates requires the availability of the default Temp folder (C:\Users\<username>\AppData
\Local\Temp). Ensure that the Temp folder is not deleted or moved.
To apply system updates:
1. Click Manage → System Update.
2. In System Update, select the Non-Compliant Systems tab.
NOTE: You can also filter systems either based on the groups or the devices by clicking the Filtered by:link.
Select the devices in the Select System Update Target Devices and Device Groups window and click Apply.
3. In Non-Compliant systems, select the systems you want to update.
NOTE: You can update multiple systems at the same time.
