I hope this helps!
Hi, pardon the newbie question.  I'd like to get started using OME and to use the 'agentless' one-to-many idea for some Dell 12th gen host servers running hyper-v/2012 and vm's.  However, reading the docs I could find where it can be installed on win 10 or 8.1, i.e., workstations. The only OS's we have that fit the bill are running on the VM's. And the ones I most want to monitor remotely are the non-gui host partitions. So far my attempts to install on win 10 have failed the pre-requisites. Am I missing a key point or should I assume I need a server OS for the management station? Thanks for any imparted knowledge! Chris
