hi all,
We will have food for thouht at our admins meeting later this week. We
have 4 servers in our cabinet all quite old and all donated second hand:

Put simply, yes iDRAC supports IPMI.
I always advise getting the Enterprise license - you can get a months trial license too.

Marco, you have summarised things very well here.
As an addition, you do not have to look at the rear of the server to figure
