Since whichever Dell moderator can't read and keeps merging these unrelated requests, I'm going to mark this as the solution to close this thread out and post it for the third time.  Hopefully they'll stop merging all my threads together and I can get an actual answer from somebody. Horrible software, horrible customer support. Never buying Dell again.
Installed server administrator and OpenManage per Dell's "guides". Launch localhost:1311 fine, but every time I try to log in I get the error "Login failed: connection error"ensured the admin account had a password and all permissions, tried using localhost, 127.0.0.1, hostname, IP, and even the iDRAC IP. Same error. What am I doing wrong?
"Login failed: connection error"
