Hi Thomas and thanks for the post.
Firstly, when you say it does not pass the SNMP test in the TS program, that is a good place to focus your attention, rather than OME. Once you get that going, OME should be fine.
Here are a few common items to review, let's start with these.
Thx

OME Discovery
Here are the important items to check when you are chasing down OME Discovery and Inventory issues.
1. Check FAQ 3.6 if inventory is not showing up.
2. Be sure OMSA is on the managed node (target) if you are using SNMP/WMI (#3.3)
3. Be sure you have “accept packets” checked on your managed node (#3.4)
4. If discovering a 2008 server, see item #3.5
5. Be sure you check the community string, remember they are *case sensitive* (#3.4). Did you type it in correctly in the discovery wizard? Did you type it in correctly in the managed node SNMP properties? Did you type it in correctly in the TS test screen?
6. Run the SNMP troubleshooting test for SNMP or WMI. For SNMP the results *must* include the version of OMSA in the table. For WMI the results *must* contain the words “Dell Server Agent” for the namespace returned.
