Bulk Enable Dell OpenManage Alerts

If you have to manage the numerous hardware alerts in Dell's OpenManage System Administrator console, this can be very tedious to modify one at a time. If you have System Administrator software installed, a quick command string can do the work for you. Use the ' omconfig system alertaction /? ' to view all of the command arguments. I dropped the below set of commands into a batch file and executed to enable an e-mail notification for all alert types: :: USE THESE FOR SYSTEM HARDWARE ALERTS omconfig system alertaction event=powersupply broadcast=true omconfig system alertaction event=powersupplywarn broadcast=true omconfig system alertaction event=tempwarn broadcast=true omconfig system alertaction event=tempfail broadcast=true omconfig system alertaction event=fanwarn broadcast=true omconfig system alertaction event=fanfail broadcast=true omconfig system alertaction event=voltwarn broadcast=true omconfig system alertaction event=voltfail broadcast=true omconfig system alert
