Yep, that is the latest release.

Yes, your problem is that omreport.exe is not installed in the search
path of check_openmanage. You can use the '--omreport' option to specify
where omreport.exe is, like this:

  check_openmanage.exe --omreport F:\dellopenmanage\oma\bin\omreport.exe

This should be configured in your nsc.ini file on the hosts.
