In my organization Active X is restricted.So would you please let me know should i get the active x from any web so that i can install the same in my laptop and use it or is there any other work around for this ?

hi,

i think your computer/laptop is joined in to corporate Windows Domain, so the Domain Administrator restricted the AciveX via group policy, your Internet explorer is limited to use, didi you try tu install firefox ?? Try to access the Blade ILO with firefox.

But here is the real deal ...

If your network does not allow ActiveX controls you can capture the DVC.DLL from a single system and
then distribute the file to client machines on the network.
1. Log into iLO 2.
2. Type https://ilo_name/dvc.cab in the browser address bar.
3. The file download dialog box displays. Click Open and save the DVC.DLL file to your local drive.
4. Copy the DVC.DLL file to the client system that does not allow ActiveX downloads.
5. From this client system, open a command prompt window. Navigate to the directory containing the
DVC.DLL file and enter regsvr32 dvc.dll.

Why not access Java Remote Console. Or is Java restricted as well?

maybe because java console is much worse to use.
