Do we need a local repository when using OpenManage Essentials? When I go to the Catalog Source and choose ftp://ftp.dell.com/catalog/catalog.cab does that mean I'm downloading the latest firmware and drivers straight from Dell? If so why do I need a local repository?
Also how do I see what the remote database server is? I know we have an OME DB server but I don't see where in OME it references what database server it's connected to.
