I can now use the Dell Server Manager software. In the end, the operating system seems to be corrupt, but by re-enabling the local admin account and using The Dell Server Update Utility, I was able to get the server to a point where the engineers were able to get the machine operational. Thank you Joey C. and Charles R. for all of your help.
I have an Avigilon NVR that's running server 2012 r2. The server is out of warranty so I can't get any help from Dell. The server administrator will not accept credentials. No errors, just keeps prompting. I've read the articles about Java and it has no other version and the latest is installed. That didn't change. I was abler to get in last week using the ip address instead of the machine name, but that won't even work now. I need server administrator so that Avigilon can verify that I have applied all firmware updates as well as replaced a predictive failure HDD and make sure there are no other firmware issues. After I complete those items, only then will Avigilon repair my db. Are there any other solutions?
