Dell's IT Assistant
is it possible to run IT Assistant for servers on the domain from a computer that is not joined to the domain? if so, do i need to put any special configurations in place?
It is possible. You would not need to do anything so long as the host server is on the network.

ok... i have successfully installed IT Assistant on a non-domain computer... it just isn't properly getting data from the server. i read through IT Assistant documentation, and at some point i read that they only allow computers on the same domain in IT Assistant as an extra security measure. so, that left me wondering if my problem was the domain issue, or if there was something else not set up correctly in IT Assistant.
have you run IT Assistant on two computers in different domains, or on a computer that is not on a domain when the server is?

ok, i think i see where my problem may have been. on the client pc, i had trap destination as localhost. on the server, i had trap destination as the IP of the client. i though the trap destination on the client should point to locahost since it is managing the server.
i will retry the installation and make sure my trap destination is correct.

If it points to localhost, it points to itself. Remember localhost (127.0.0.1) is the default local on every computer or server. There is nothing to do with the server in localhost.
