If the DSM SA Connection Service stops, often it is because it is not able to open the port it wants.  The default port is 1311.  If you locate the iws.ini file in the OMSA install directories you can edit it with Notepad and change the port on the 6th line.  It will probably say "port = 1311", just change the port number to something else like 100010, save the file, and see if the service will start.  Then access OMSA with: [URL]
Hello. I am trying to troubleshoot an issue I am having with OpenManage 6.5 running on a Poweredge 2800, running Windows Server 2003 SP2. When I try to open OpenManage, IE (Ie8) just hangs on trying to load the page. I checked out the services and the  "DSM SA Connection Service" keeps stopping. Unfortunately there is not much info in the event viewer, it just says "The DSM SA Connection Service service entered the stopped state." I've attempted to remove and reinstall OpenManage, but the results are the same. Where can I look for more information, or can anyone offer any suggestions on what I can do to resolve this?   Thank you for any help!
