Viewing warranty history

A warranty job is a scheduled task to get warranty information from Support.dell.com on all systems. You can sort the columns of the inventory view in ascending and/or descending order.

Depending on the network settings, OMIVV might require proxy information for internet reachability and fetch warranty information. The proxy details can be updated in the Administration Console.
