For fuck's sake, @Dell. I have 15 servers with iDRAC basic in a cluster. *13* have crashed BMCs have in some way (web dead, IPMI dead, or both). Two of those are so screwed I have no way to reset them without physically going to the datacenter. What the fuck.
I don't think there's much left to be done other than drive to the datacenter to cold power cycle the two remaining servers. iMC's Invoke-iDRACHardReset also does not work.

I did manage to reset one of the two where the web interface responded (but it isn't licensed) by manually issuing the DRAC reset HTTP request, copied from a licensed server. You should get your engineers to add that to the basic management panel. It's the bare minimum.

I don't care how many other features you choose to charge a license for, but you should never lock down ways of resetting the thing when something goes wrong. Same with SSH - it was alive but I couldn't log in due to missing license. IPMI doesn't need a license, but it was dead.
