OpenManage 4.4 update release date
Can anyone give me a definitive date for the release of version 4.4?
- Last week I spoke with someone in the applications group representing Dell Platinum Support. He said that OpenManage 4.4 to support Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 1 would be released by the end of May. Only 9 hours left...Actually, I've seen some documentation that stated that OpenManage 4.4 wouldn't be released until sometime in June.Who knows?

If nothing else, you can find the version number printed on the installation disk.jgonzalez921

I don't remember on earlier verions like 6.5, but on version 7.0 of IT Assistant, you just click on the ABOUT tab. For most other applications, about is found in the help dropdown areas. Try those.HowieLong7777

For Server Administrator, open SA and click on about. The test I tried tells me that I am running 3.4.
Why Dell uses things like Open Manage 4.3, Array Manager 3.4, Server Administrator 3.4 and IT Assistant 7.0 makes no sense to me. These are all pieces of Open Manage 4.3. If they could clean stuff like that up, I would think they could reduce their support calls for Open Manage in half.HowieLong7777

Correction,
The server Administrator program that came with Open Manage 4.3 says Server Administrator version 2.0. Yup, Dell has two versions of this product on different version levels. Just to keep you on your toes.
The other server showing SA 3.4 was a Power Edge 1300 which does not support the latest version of SA.
The Array Manager that is running with Open Mange 4.3 is version 3.7. But I believe Dell wants us to go away from Array Manager and start using Storage Manager.
Sorry. This mess is as confusing to me as anyone.
I am meeting my new Dell Rep today. I feel sorry for her!!!jgonzalez921

I do not have the disk I inherited this network, some servers have the Open Manage already. So I am asking on the application where does it show the version number. Thanks!

All I've heard is a rumour of it being ready for download May 4-6, but here it is, May 6, and it's not up there. I've got SP1 going out to multiple machines, and need to MSI the new version to backfil a number of OMSA installs. Obviously, 4.3 (2.0) fails due to SP1 being installed......
Anyone?
