I have a Dell PE SC440 server. &nbsp;I want to be able to monitor the server health. &nbsp;Other Dell Servers support the Dell Open Manage Server Administrator software that monitors everything from fans, raid controllers, NICs, HDs, etc. &nbsp;However, Dell does not enable this software to be installed on the SC platforms. &nbsp;Does anyone know of someway to install Open Manage on the SC platforms? &nbsp;Or, is there another, inexpensive server monitoring package (for Windows Server 2003) that can email me when there are hardware warnings or failures like Open Manage? &nbsp;Thanks for any suggestions.

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.

Server Hardware

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
