OME or Powershell
Hi guys,
We want to run scripts to do several things on a regular schedule on our Dell Dracs (~500).
OME 2.1 will do a fair bit, but the boss wants more!! :)
1. Change the root password any time we want to.
2. Change the SNMP community string
3. Get the IPMI status of each machine and set to off if on
4. Set particular Alerts (All Critical-email and All Critical SNMP)
5. Set the recipient email addresses
- And no doubt some more will arise.
My question is, Is the above list better done via PowerShell or via OME? (I am no PowerShell expert, but willing to learn).
Are all of the above available in Powershell? Can normal Powershell interrogate anything from the Drac?
Thx,
John Bradshaw

Powershell is a tool for the management of Windows itself and much Microsoft applications like SQL, Exchange or SharePoint.
The DRAC is a hardware component made by Dell what can not reached with Powershell. Perhaps there are possibilities to use racadm or IPMI-Commands over Powershell, but this is from backside through the brest in the eye.

Everything you have described can be done with RACADM. Take a look at his page: http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/systems-management/w/wiki/3205.racadm-command-line-interface-for-drac
Also see the RACADM command line guide to get started.
