DRAC5, Virtual Media & Vista

Hi All,

 

I'm trying to build a new Windows 2003 R2 SP2 server via the DRAC.

When trying to connect my local DVD as a virtual one the 'E:\' under 'CD/DVD-ROM Drive' in the DRAC GUI is greyed out on my machine running Vista with SP1.  I've tried this on an XP SP2 machine and it works fine.

 

I'm guessing it's a Vista 'security' setting. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

 

 

Cheers,

Mark

    Thanks for posting!  Usually this sort of thing happens due to browser security settings being set too high.  Make the DRAC a trusted site, enable all ActiveX controls, clear the browser's cache and offline content, then start a fresh browser session and try again.

    Hi Jeff.

     

    I tried your suggestions, but had no luck.

    Following your tip about security settings, I changed the Trusted Sites from Medium to Medium-Low (which automatically disabled 'protected mode').

     

    My local DVD is now selectable.

     

    While I'm not keen on lowering security settings, it's not so bad given it's only for the Trusted Sites zone.

     

    Cheers,

    Mark
