Hello,Can you tell me how the IPMI/BMC should show up ?I have HP physical servers where IPMI is functional (I tested this with IPMIPing), the iLOs are fully configured and working as desired but in WAC on the overview tab it doesn't show up.The client from where I access WAC and the server running WAC can do the IPMIPing successfully.&nbsp;Thanks in advance for your help

Hi Marc!
Can you run the following PS script on the HP server and let me know what results you get? Thanks!
&nbsp;
$bmcInfo = Get-PcsvDevice$result = New-Object -TypeName PSObject
$result | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "Ip" $bmcInfo.IPv4Address$result | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "Serial" $bmcInfo.SerialNumber
$result

Hello Daniel,Thanks for your answer.I tried Get-PcsvDevice -TargetAddress X.X.X.X -ManagementProtocol IPMI -Credential $mycredwhere X.X.X.X is the IP of the iLO but it gives me an error :Get-PcsvDevice : The operation failed. The device returned the following RMCP+ status code: 9.&nbsp;I tried that on mutliple servers with always the same result and I can't find information about this error.I will have to investigate this issue.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Jeff, This is great news. Any chance of turning WAC in to a PWA app or a .net core app using a wrapper to allow it to run on any OS using ReactXP https://microsoft.github.io/reactxp/ ?
