Dell - Internal Use - Confidential  

Hi Erinn,

As of now, not all OpenManage Server Administrator packages are signed with new 
GPG key. Yes, we are keeping the old key along with new key.

Regards,
Chandra

Dell team, are all of the packages no signed with the new GPG key? Or are we 
going to have to hold onto the old key as well as the new one?
