Frequently Asked Questions
How do I add a SCVMM or MECM console?
Add the console via Chapter 4 steps: Navigate to the 'Console Management' page and follow the instructions provided for adding a console.
What must I be careful of when uninstalling the plugin?
Be aware that if the plugin is disabled, any added Microsoft consoles will be forcefully removed, and all 'Running' or 'In-Progress' OpenManage Enterprise jobs will stop.
Where should I check for failure reasons on an SCVMM job?
It is recommended to check the failure reason of the SCVMMOSDeployment_SystemCenter_Task job directly in the respective SCVMM console because it operates primarily there.
How do I delete a Windows OS Deployment template?
Use the controls provided on the Templates page and select 'Delete' after ensuring you have completed any necessary edits.
