Recent issues found in both Dell SCOM MP and Nutanix MP

Here are two issues we recently found in these Management Packs.

1. This is not a bug, but rather something to be aware of.  The Dell SCOM Management Pack uses PowerShell for many of the scripts.  That means that if you have any PowerShell protected characters in your iDrac credentials or possibly SNMP community names, the scripts may not work.

2. Nutanix Management Pack v1.3 has a possible bug that has been submitted to be looked at.  If you have a dash "-" in your Nutanix SNMP name, the dash can cause the SNMP service to crash on the CVM.
