This script uses an iDRAC user to check the server hardware via iDRAC. It has been tested and used with dell servers and blades running iDRAC 6 & 7. It uses freeipmi to perform the actual query.

I strongly recommend using a read only user for this.

**Do not use the download listed here** Use the scripts from the GitHub link
